Single speed chain

[6speedSchwinn]

Hi all

 

 

 

I've just bought myself a Silverback Zero 3 to commute with. I've been commuting on a Raleigh RM 6.0 for the past 3 years, but I want to cut down on maintenance costs a bit.

 

 

 

Anyhow, two days ago I managed to cycle almost to the top of Linksfield Ridge with my new single speed when I snapped the chain. I then bought a new chain, but it doesn't look like it is much stronger.

 

 

 

Can any of you recommend a strong but not too expensive single speed chain? I don't want to pay more than R150.

 

 

 

Any other recommendations will also be appreciated (except if you want me to get rid of the Zero 3 )

 

 

 

Regards

I use the kmc 6sp chains. They retail for about 80 bucks. Its a thick chain, so they are more robust than normal 9sp chains.

hey, i've got one of them! such fun to ride on. took it to nf on new year's. singletrack with a coaster is a jol! but i did manage to destroy the rear hub, though.

 

agree with muds about the kmc chain.
