What do you ride on your drives? Im tied between 2 at the moment, not sure which to get. I want something that will last but take a good hammering.

The Cult chain is decent for the money.

I run a KHE halflink and it's been perfect.

Aside from that, all the traditional brand names make a decent chain.

I forgot to add boys, it needs to have old school appeal too  :-[

I was looking at the KMC INOX S10. Being S/Steel and all too. Any good??

Anyone have 2 Silver Izumi chains for sale   :D

only half link chain worth having in my opinion is the shadow v2 chains :daumenhoch:

if u want old school appeal then look at kmc kool chains or even the superlight chain, which is surprisingly strong considering how light it is

KMC 510's, no issues with these.
I might go for a more 'high end' on the daily ride as it does a few miles, not sure what to get though either.  ;D
I think KMC do a Ti one but it's listed for 10 speed MTB's, so I guess that's out. Anyone tied one on a single speed?

Odyssey Bluebird (KMC510HX with a half link on the end) or just get a standard KMC 510HX, but make sure it's the 'HX'

or get an Izumi Super Tough track chain, they are hard as fook. :daumenhoch:

KMC all the way, I think you will find that they make many a chain for the big brands anyway so might as well buy there own stuff.

Apologies for being slightly off topic, but while stripping down my newly acquired Hoffman D130 I noticed that the chain was huge.

It has Sachs and 415 stamped on the links, does anyone have an idea of what it is as I have never seen a bike chain of this size?
