Title: kmc 610hx at Halfords
Post by: phopwood on January 04, 2014, 04:30:52 PM

I have been looking for a new chain recently and found this at halfords looks like a reasonable offer, and with click and collect you can save a bit on postage.

All the best.

Probably quite a good, durable chain for SS/internal hub use. It's a BMX chain. It has beefier side plates than multi-speed chains and is a bit heavier. Worth noting that chains do not wear on the side plates but rather on the internal flanges of the 'psuedo-bushes'. The metal here will be no thicker than on any other chain. Long wear is going to be all down to manufacturing accuracy and metal hardness.

Yep good points, from my point of view I am looking for a single speed 3/32 chain.  I possible should have put this in the rohloff section.  But halfords are doing some very good deals on other kmc chains.
