Do  you really have to have a half link chain  ???

Is it so your wheel will sit right in short rear drops  :)

I've heard losts of people have reliability issues with half link chains ( snapping) plus they're no lighter  :-\

You can get a high quality really light weight conventional chain for the same price , ( It will last longer) ::)

Shadow conspiricy were the first to mass produce a decent polished half linkchain , but many cheapos churned out since ( get what you pay for )

expect to pay around £20 plus for something good  :)

Yer its for the haro, wanted one for looks more than anything if I'm honest, I saw one on pistils fly luna (page 5 new school museum). And thought how good it looked, think its a khe mnimalist, I tried looking for the hollow one they do but can't seem to. Find anywhere. Think stodgy has the heavier one. For sale.

I have the Gusset half link ,15 notes if you shop around.
I'm pretty sure many of the half link chains are generic with a different name on the same tin but with a huge difference in price.
