What Chain to buy?
« on: May 20, 2011, 01:15 PM »
Peeps,

I need a good, solid, dependable, value-for-money chain for a build.  ???

eBay has the usual selection and the best I have found for the money is a "KMC Z510 1/2x 1/8 Heavy Duty BMX FIXIE Chain SILVER" for £5.99.

There are also other KMC chains knocking around on the flea, all similar "1/8" KMC SINGLE SPEED CHAIN fixed bmx singlespeed" for £11.99 (same as the above?) or "KMC Z410 BMX/Track/Single Speed Bulk chain. 1/2 x 1/8"" for £4.99.

They all seem to fit the bill and the first one looks best value; any thoughts, recommendations etc.?  :daumenhoch:

Thanks,

Clean.

kmc z510 for me, best chains for the money. i actually snapped one last night although it was probably about 10 years old.

My fav chain is the KMC z510 and the z610 (3/32 version of the 510) although I do like the Sachs Sedis chains but they are really hard to come by nowadays.


Better to crash and burn than fade away

All,

Fantastic input; many, many thanks!  :smitten:

@ Marty C..... mate, you need to send me some info so I can pay due respect.  :daumenhoch:

Decision made.... KMC z510 it is.

Couldn't have done it without you!  :4_17_5:

Clean.
