Cheers all.
I've ran a 1/2 linker before - snaped that too, haha, was a Shadow Conspiracy MK1 - but, yer I here that the MK2 is much better.
It was a kmc I ran that snapped, but on closer inspection it was the split link that broke, so I guess the chain is OK, but it mashed the ends joined onto the split link - was a comedy bail like, haha - but glad I didnt nack my self too much.
A friend has given me another kmc, so I've poped that on for now - not sure what to go for, if I get a new one, does standard not make a 'stronger than all chains' chain at all? haha.
RUSS, is the chain you have cassette friendly? I was told the fat type chains don't sit that good on em? I run a 25 - 9 ratio profile ss cassette hub.
