Smooth half link set up?

<< < (3/3)

Danno:
I did exactly the same ratio change with a hollow Keychain and it's been sound so far.

MSBNL:
I've been running an Odyssey bluebird with preinstalled halflink for over a year and it's been great. I got a Cult chain for the 2nd bike, also with preinstalled halflink, but the pin on the preinstalled halflink was way too long. Like easily 3 to 4 mm on each side, impossible to ride with a sandwich MDS sprocket (and it was even grinding on the hubshell). No idea why they made the pin so long.

montymitch:
I was so happy with the last Cult 510 I bought. It lasted for two seasons without issue, so I replaced it with a fresh one and it lasted two rides. The half-link is fine.

Fundamental:
Thanks for all the replies.

I stopped by the LBS, and picked up the Primo 510 with preinstalled half link.

The Keychain looked good but is way more chain than I need.  It's hard to justify three times the price of the 510 chains, which work well for me already.
