    -------------------------------------- Chains??? ---------------------------------------------
    The two chains that you will end up choosing from are half link chains and full link chains. While on the surface, there isn't much difference. You'd be surprised what the real differences are. Have you ever snapped your chain and smacked your knee on the stem? This isn't very fun
    Half Link Chain
    A half link chain is generally a lot stronger and a lot more expensive. I run the Shadow Interlock V2 and have never had an issue. There is less "dead space" between the linking parts on the chain. Which gives the overall construction more strength.
    Full link chain
    These are cheap and easy to take on and off if you use the master link system. I do not really see a benefit here but maybe someone does. These chains come in tons of different options, including hollow pins, machined links and so on. I used to break cheap full links every 3 months.

      Same, Cinema's are actually really good chains. I have a Cult one as well, that one has always been stiff no matter what I try.

    02:19 it's that the pins that you connected can't slide out.

    What is the difference between a 510 and 410 chain?? And which one is better?

    Dougster, I have very limited knowledge regarding bike building. Please tell me, does a Shadow chain require a special tool to install it. Thanks Doug, please respond

    Will having the wheel slammed make it easier to raise to front end up?

    They make full links for e bikes and not half links so maybe they are not weak. Half links look cool, probably better if you have 8t driver.

      Check out any Kink bike! They will be much better quality and help you progress faster since they have good geometry

    How many links do you need for a 16/44 vintage bmx setup? Is 1 half link chain long enough or do you need two?

    Hi Mate👋🏼 Hope you’re well?
    How the hell do you get that pin back into the half link when you stupidly accidentally push it all the way out!?🤦🏼‍♂️

    • @Dougsterbob
      @Dougsterbob  3 года назад +1

      So this is damn near impossible. One way is to hammer it back in but it is pretty hard to get it lined up. Hold the pin on the hole with needle nose pliers and give it a few good whacks. hopefully this helps!
