No chain slip, completely smooth. Had to modify the tensioner slightly with a file to allow it to push up. I did think i was just getting 1 half link, but winstanleys bmx sent me a full Gusset Slink for £1.99
Me likey.
a full Gusset Slink for £1.99
most bargainaceous!
The pics look good. I really like those halflink chains.
I hate to point it out, but you're running your half link the wrong way around. Rounded/outer edge should be the leading edge.
Wot he said- you'll need to turn your chain around for it to bend properly. Looks good though- do you need the tensioner with the 1/2link chain?
I did think it was back to front but was too timid to post...
my Gusset half link chain weighed an absolute ton but always worked well.
Was a bugger to get in a chain tool though as it's so wide.
it doesn't make any difference unless you're using it to grind as in bmx.
Technically, why is it that the chain is 'wrong' that way round? I don't see it would make much difference, but wouldn't it run smoother over the tenioner the way he has it? Not disagreeing here, I just wondered why?
I've never ordered something from winstanleys and actually received what I ordered. Does anyone know someone who works there?

Why? Is it faster?

😆 😆 😆
The reason half link chains should be run the opposite way is so that when the'yre being ground on a hard surface it's less likley to open up the outer link on the chain.
So wouldn't make a blind bit of difference with that setup.
Foolish fashion follower.
Depending on chainstay length, even a half link does not guarantee adequate tension.

Exactly, I took another link out and the chain was too tight and wouldnt go on.
Ok singlespeeders - what happens if you bend your chainring?
You die.

You buy a new one.
You smash your uts on your top-tube / stem and cry in a manly way

I dont know - what does happen if you bend your chain ring?
Awaits the punch line.....
You buy a Middleburn Uno and it never happens again...
If your chainring is bent you show it pictures of flirty little white Indfreewheels, and curvaccious woods hubs, It soon turns all hetro and stiff again 😉
