I think the plan is to do some kind of stampy testing, both for straight tensile and impact. The problem is (as always) that the industry standard tests aren't a great reflection of real world riding. eg. nobody ever puts a new chain on, then pedals hard enough to apply over a ton of straight tensile load to the chain. But it is hard to come up with a good repeatable test so maybe we will revert to this.

Set it up vertically.
Drop like 80-100 kilo's.
See if a sprocket with a bit of dampening that is accelerating in the opposite direction can catch it.
Hope the sprocket doesn't explode.
Increase the weight to dumb amounts.
Profit?!

I'd be kicking and screaming about it if I was them considering the BMX market is dominated by the DK Golf bag!

Did you ever manage to grab one? I'm wondering if it can be rolled up fairly compact and thrown in a backpack?

Why don't you just see how much it takes to pry 2 links apart - after all a chain is only as strong as its weakest link!
Danno:
Yeah I got a Hawk Nest, I took photos but they didn't really show much which im guessing is why Odyssey have just released a video of it instead of loads of pictures. It's up on the product page of their website.
There's no way it would fold down to fit in a backpack, mines folded in half and is way bigger than my backpack. I havent used it yet but fly out to Malaga at the end of April so will have some feedback then. The quality is great though and I much prefer it to the DK bag. There's more stock of the Hawk Nest coming into the UK at the end of March and we will have one spare if anyone wants to buy one.
happycatbasket:
still pipe dreaming that one day oddy will be able to justify and throw down enough money to make grindside molds for JC/PCs because we're all so tired of pulling those pins out when they get ground down. Not to mention switching the sides out a handful of times a year.
Also, that "we" should really just be an "I."
