Keychain woes?
Prodigal Son:
Seems like a bummer. Any positives outweighing your guys headaches?
dude...:
hasnt broken yet
pegs:
chains still noisey as fuck, I've had to use the bmx a lot recently so plenty time to break it in. Oiled it up a few more times. then today one of the threaded pins sheared off in the plate. fuck this
feels like a really strong chain but not being able to fix it now on the spot when I need it is a load of shite

So, I bought a new Bluebird in readiness to replace my 510. The Bluebird at the same # of links is shorter than the 510. No surprise there. But the well-used 510 is shorter than the barely-used KeyChain I tried to rock. I'd like to send it back but I don't want to waste anyone's expense if this not a known issue. George, you have looked after me for the last decade when it comes to the odd part issue. I will not persue any warranty claim as you already spent your likely margins from me just on sorting me out. But you are most welcome to this particular specimen if you want me to send it to you

2 years now and mine is still fucken awesome
Had to apply a little loctite on the master link pin threads to keep them backing out over time but never once have had an issue with the chain coming apart or breaking
I'm running a 15/9 setup with the chain as tight as it will possibly go. It has been thoroughly rusted out, cleaned, and re-oiled over its life
Plus the ease of being to break it at the master link is 100% worth it if your wheel is slammed.
Makes getting your back wheel off oh-so-easy
