HOW TO INSTALL A CHAIN ON YOUR BMX
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 июл 2024
- For today’s How-To-Thursday, I decided to piggyback off the success of last week’s video on, the best Multi Tools in BMX and used the Animal Kotulak tool to show you how to install and what the differences are between a half-link (Shadow V2 Interlock Chain) and full-link (Primo 510) chain!
As always, I hope you found this tutorial enjoyable and informational! If there’s anything I left unclear, please don’t hesitate to ask me in the comment section below.
Thank you everyone :)

I was stupid lost my login password. I would love any assistance you can offer me.
The half link installation guide has been a life saver!, if i had just bought it, and attempted fitting, without watching this i would not have realised it could be fitted the wrong way up, thanks from england!!!!!
Thanks Alfredo for using the tools as requested. Appreciate how consistent you are. I think RUclips is a great fit for you. You're a natural.
Thanks so much! I appreciate that a lot 🙏🏻+Cannon Hall
+Alfredo Mancuso also keep up the how to's. Super useful👍🏻
Number 1 Fan from Poland, greetings Alfredo and greets for whole OSS
How to true a wheel would be nice !👌👌
Great installation vid! Very useful!
Going to give it a try myself soon.
Been out of the loop and BMX life for quite a while!
Life just kind of gets in the way.
Thank You for the Chain installation lesson vlog!👍
It's exactly the same amount of pins (and rollers) in both normal and halflink chains. The main benefit, except adjustment which you can also get with using one single halflink on a normal chain, of a halflink chain is that (if correctly installed) the plates protects each other when grinding so that it's harder took hook "under" one of the links and bend (witch usually mean the next crank you do means smashing your knee into the stem). For example I do a lot of pedalgrinds, for me halflink chains are superior. If you do not grind a lot on your chain side a normal chain, with or without ONE halflink, stretches a lot less.
thanks for the info!! :)
haha perfect timing dude! just bought a new chain like 2 days ago .
thanks man!
This is a great video explaining the basic stuff about chain installation, thanks :)

i know how to put a chain on, but i still had to like and comment. Ayyy
You're in my squad!! +Dxnniis
this is the best how to use a chain tool on youtube..
Hi, I just put on an Odyssey blue bird full link chain. The wheel axle is pretty far back, but it tightens down ok, it looks similar to your video here. But it looks like the back ends of the frame are bending just a tiny bit. How can you tell if your wheel is too far back? I didn't use the half link. I know I can add that on, I'm just wondering if I need to. Thanks
Hey so I bought a complete bike off dans comp and when I got it the chain seemed kind of tight.. Is that a bad thing or should I try and fix it ? Or over time does it loosen by itself ?
hey bro where is your shop located looks awesome and I would love to do some shopping at it. I know it's not in my state so can you buy online?
Great tutorial brotha. This is the first time I've seen a half chain. So much nicer. 👌🏻👌🏻 P.S if you ever wanna do a giveaway on your bike sign me up 😝😝😝😝😝😝😂😂😂😂
That's awesome! They look cool right?! I will! +Peach Life
How many people know what a master link is? It seems like nobody in the bmx world has ever heard of one, seriously the greatest invention ever, they cost like $2
The number of pins on a 1/2 link vs full is the same, and there is only one less outer/in plate on a 1/2 link than a full link on each side. But still a great vid👍🏻
Thanks man :-D
Thank you :)
Again great vid again, well explained. Does anyone know if that Animal tool works with the Shadow Supreme chain, is it big enough? I own parktool and Shadow chain tools, I like that animal design the best...
Thanks for the 411 Brennan!
I got 2 chain breakers brand new and I was trying to loosen the pin on this chain but the breakers couldn’t hold the half link chain cause the spacing was off. So I tried to twist the pin out anyways but it kept sliding off the breaker or would start going crooked. Needless to say I now have to broken chain breakers and a bike still with no chain
if you haven't done it it's always a struggle
Thanks G
ayyyy
What brand do you recommend to buy on half link?
Please do a video on chain alignment
Ik how just find these entertaining
Yo half link chains look sick 😍
They're sick! +mathew gonzalez
+Alfredo Mancuso Are they stronger than full links?
Yea! +mathew gonzalez
+Alfredo Mancuso aight cuz my friend is always breking his chains doing feebles 180 think he broke 2 or 3 this month ... lol
Crazy!! He's a savage haha +mathew gonzalez
Hope you could help me with an issue I have with my sprocket and chain, I run a brandon begin merrit sprocket with a shadow conspiracy half link chain, and I've noticed that my chain pins are gouging my sprocket... why is this happening?, hope you can help.
awesome man
:D
How do you keep you tuk in a 360, because I'm doing a 180 to backlash, the tuk is the most important please help me man
If it's ok to ask man
Sure man what's up?+Japheth Domingo
You want to really took it good when you're getting past the 180 point +Japheth Domingo
aye Alfredo can we get another bike check with Barbara ? 😂😏
added note, where ever you brake the chain and put it back together, take a pair of pliers or anything you can use the compress the plates from both sides onto the pin slightly. also check our chains every little one to see if you have any pics trying to fall off the side of your chain and break it.
i wish i coulda shown you my macneil gary young 2 build back in the day. the chain was so tight you could stand on it and it barely moved. god damn chain stay mounts, although they seem to work better for certain applications.
i installed my shadow interlock v2 in my bike it haves 25 9t gearing and that chain is able to be used with that gearing and when i pedal backwards the chain just comes off my 9t driver and keeps all kind of breaking noises and chain is like it supposed to be but i just dont understand whats wrong with itr
Thanks
Wish you did this with TSC tool. Mine literally just blew up trying to break a V2 chain
whats the best cassette wheel brand on the market that you have because i need a high pro quality wheel
Shadow, Primo, or Colony! +gfk scoots darth
Please respond can u shorten a half link chain or do i need a spare link
Awesome man thanks. Hey you a haro guy by chance? Il trade you a complete group 1 for a mid school we'll call it , haro nuke sprocket or a haro big block stem? Really awesome video thanks again bro
What is your tire size i have a tiny 20×2.0. Is yours a 2.25 or 2.4.
do you have the amazon link to buy the tools?
Where is your store I wanna check!!!
7669 Melrose Ave Los Angeles, CA 90046
thanks man my chain snapped today LOL gotta go buy a new one
Damn! Well glad this well help get it on your bike!

Ayyy! +JavierGFX

Could you do a handlebar one I know it's stupid and really simple but mine get loose quite often and I do the form and I think it would just help ! Thx
I'm building a new bike next week and I'll cover that +Jioloip Pioloij
Tq master
🙏🏻🙏🏻
Informative brother. Thanx for the know how seeing as I am changing out my chain on my Haro. Just wondering its a 3/32 right not a 1/8 right fuck idk!??!!??
Okay so I needed a new chain and I got a replacement, I was riding earlier today and it just snapped a full link off do you know what I might have done wrong?
That sucks! Maybe it was just old
you should've used the shadow multi took for the shadow chain because there's a chrome pin thing with the Allan keys ment to be used with shadow chains
do all shadow conspiracy chains need the shadow chain breaker?
Im just saying man but your shit awesome man thank for the help with the tuk in 180 man
hellya! Glad that helped!
Hey Alfredo, great video! it was very informative.
I have a few questions about the other half-link chain that Shadow Conspiracy sells. The Interlock Supreme Chain.
I'm considering buying it but is it really one of the toughest chains on the market or is it all hype?
And is it true the Interlock Supreme chain breaks some chaintools?
I'm considering doing a 30/9 ratio or maybe up to 33/9(even though 33 might be overkill). Could I use a half-link chain with either ratio? or would there be issues with the chain snapping or my gear wearing down quickly?
Thanks for the video Alfredo.
The supreme chain is by far the toughest half link available! Worth every dollar! I ride it on a 25-9 ratio so it'll be fine on the 30 or 33-9!! +Sheldon
if you run an over geared set up stay away from half links. sorry alf.
if you run over geared set ups then i only recommend two chains. kmc 710 kool chain(710sl if youre light on chains) or that crazy whipperman chain, think its called the 1G8
half link chains stretch easier the normal chains. over gearing your bike stretches chains even faster. however you also gain a benefit of more links spreads the load out over a larger area increasing strength.
supreme chain from shadow might hold up better then others but ive tried every other shadow chain, and ive used some other fancy half link chains and such. full length chains work better if you dont need the smaller adjustments. or run a single half-link.
will say this though, my buddy runs a supreme with 9-28 gear ratio and is fine. but i ran left side drive did grinds on the right and still blew up a v2 shadow chain real quick when i ran 9-30. but i rape chains pretty bad for not doing sprocket tricks or hitting it during grinds. probably something to do with being over geared. id suggest a tree sprocket or anything else in spline drive if you can, set it up so your chain line is as perfect as you can get it, and then a whipperman chain. you can also get some dirtbike and motorcycle chains that will work from what i hear.
if you already got a shadow let me know how its doing, may have found a new chain for when im building up bikes for homies.
Is that the sexy new bike????😍😍
how many links for 25t sprocket
bmx 24 inch
I did as you said and the chain links that were tightened are very stiff and stay in place instead of moving like the rest of them
Give it a little wiggle back and forth and it’ll loosen up
@@AlfredoMancuso i actually just got it working right before i saw this, it just had to break in, but thank you for the response!
Anytime!
v useful, i snapped my chain yesterday D: this really helped :p
Can you do a comparison of guard and standard sprockets
That one is a little straight forward since its just a piece of metal that surrounds the sprocket and keeps your chain safe. But I can talk about it in one video
+Alfredo Mancuso Yeah I guess it is straight forward but I kinda want I know the pros and cons of each you know?
ahh yea I can do that!
+Alfredo Mancuso thanks man
Hey Alfredo, finally got my bike done today and every time I pedal now my chain makes a crunching noise (halflink btw) is it just wearing in? Also what's a good way to reduce the noise or eliminate it completely? Cheers
Could be a few things, you could've installed it backwards or upside down or it could just be old and might require grease/oil
Alfredo Mancuso it's brand new (bsd forever half link) got a bike shop to install it aswell, cheers will have a look into it
for sure! Let me know if they solve it! Might honestly just need to break in
Alfredo Mancuso I was thinking that too as I have second hand wheels too and the driver is a lil loose and if I tighten it the tiniest bit it doesn't spin and thought the chain would be wearing into the grooves
Alfredo Mancuso ended up being my driver, brought a new alloy one and no problems since and the noise has gone away, cheers!
Is a cult half link chain good
I followed ur installation of a full link chain but mine does not sound healthy! HELP !
Hello
Is the kmc k810sl a good chain?
I heard that it break easily.
Do you think this is real or only a coincidence
i bellieve the 810sl is actually the geared version os a 710sl,
the kmc 710 super light is a strong chain. you wont break it. the 810 probably has the skinnier teeth set up so wouldnt work for bmx.
if you want an even stronger chain then a 710sl buy a kmc kool chain. aka the standard 710 without hollow pins and plates.
this one www.chainreactioncycles.com/ca/en/kmc-k710-kool-chain/rp-prod25431?gs=1&sku=sku79598CA&pgrid=55275506289&ptaid=pla-427736750382&PLA+-+All+Products&|smhAL0nFb_dc|pcrid|253940205581|pkw||pmt||prd|79598CA
as for the 810sl pretty sure my buddy ran one on his mountain bike fine for like two seasons. lasted him almost as long as a 710 sl. however he had the thinner chainring and rear driver set up and is also a weight wheenie, his 26 inch mtb with suspension weighs less then any bmx bike can without adding titanium or running pegless and brakeless. 21-22 pounds on the dot. so id say if strength is of concern buy the 710 versions either the kool chain or the super light. if weight is a concern maybe the 810sl and then if pure strength is a concern then the kool chain or theres a company called whipperman that makes a crazy full link chain that looks like it belongs on a dirtbike.
think its called the whipperman 1G8 chain
Cute cat aww
@iamtonycat haha
Next video your should do a house to in stall spline drive cranks on a spline drive sproket
You've got it Alf! +Alfredo Hernandez
I use a ten dollar Bell chain and I ride it loose. having a freecoaster helps too
True true! +tony barajas
