Quick Questions
Jens M:
Shortened the chain quite a bit (smaller sprocket etc), but am now riding with the axle sticking out of the dropout 2-3mm. I was maybe 1mm away from riding it slammed.
Question: Riding it for a week or so, is there possibility of the chain stretching enough to remove the whole link (ie 1mm), or should I just get a half link and find myself somewhere in the middle? It's a Shimano chain, and it's been ridden a few years.
25t/9t on 1st Fit Hawk (13.75 slammed I think).
attactrl:
I would get a new chain if I was in your shoes.
JohnW:
I generally replace chains every 6 months. I've been bad about it lately, hoping I don't start snapping links.
Topsey:
Odyssey Bluebird
Cult 510
Eclat Diesel
Im sure theres probably more out there too, they come with a pre-installed half link. Ive had the Bluebird & the Cult, both excellent chains. Getting an Eclat for the new build too.
Sasha:
I've got the Eclat chain at the moment. It's definitely a chain. I'd probably get the Cult one if you can though, it's about £8 cheaper than the Eclat and £12 cheaper than the Odyssey. Still a chain too I imagine.
