thats the impression i was under. rather disappointed it isn't

Just to clarify.
A chain breaker is needed to cut the chain initially. However the joining link/half link have allen key pins for easy removal/adjustment.
Essentially the exact same principal to a regular chain with a joining link but much better.

Actually I really want to see a stampy test for this.

What is a stampy test? I could google it but i'm that lazy.

I just bought a bluebird, will be rocking that until these will be available.
Sure thing i would pay the extra €€€ for a chain that saves my jewels knees and teeth.
My last chain was a KHE Collapse. Those will survive WW3. Beefy as fuck.
Now on a KMC not so kool 710 and have a bluebird ready to be built onto what will be my new bike.
If i snap the 510hx bluebird, the keychain should be more up for bashing and grinding which will make it a great investment for the 4pegged grind combo people.
Glad Odyssey never ventured into making halflink chains. Despite Odyssey's awesome reputation i'd never trust a halflink.
Spev:
Well technically they do still come with a half link.

i suppose Ody does this under pressure of the 'i want my axle slammed' kinda people.
Halflinks stretch, halflinks break where they're bent, just depends if it's sooner or later. They kinda lack in every feature that make a chain a good chain. No superior tensile strenght over regular chains, i believe by FAR.
Just wraps around a 8t better.
Most chains these days are up for 9t, which is what 90% of the world runs anyway.
Halflinks look snazzy though- and it looks like the halflink chains now have worthy opponents in that part of the competition.
And tbh i don't even need to ride the keychain to be able say it's probably stronger than most halflink -or normal chains.
The halflink provided with the keychain will probably use the same thickness plate that the keychain does, so it should be expected that these halflinks will out-perform regular halflinks.
