Shadow Supreme all day long, have one on both my bikes.

Cmon mann 😂😂😂😂😭 “my eyes is slanted” broo😂😂😂😂

I had a KMC HL1 Wide half link on my EVIL DJ .. really smooth riding chain and it looked really cool, but snapped after 6 months .. I watched this video before buying a new chain, about a month ago.. I got the shadow supreme chain and it’s just super tough! I feel way more confident on my bike now! Thanx doods! 🤙🏻 much peace and respect from the Southern California desert ✌🏻🤘🏼

When I was learning how to ride I would use a lot of pedal pressure for my trucks, and at 200 pounds I would break the 510 and 710 chains until I got the shadow never broke a chain after

Same here. I float between 200-220, and I can almost snap a KMC 410 on command. Pedaling up ramps too slow and PLINK. I have flown over the bars too many times, I put shadow chains on all my bikes now

Overbuilding bikes back in the mid school era taught me I needed none of that overbiilt stuff. I wasn't easy on my bikes, but never as hard as the dudes that went way big. I run a combo of race parts on a street frame now, closing in on a 21 pound BTM and I love it. I'm old and ride smooth tho, and don't ride pegs anymore..

​@@spicydramarama852why are you mocking God?

Dude is spot on. If your breaking chains you need to dial-in your setup. Your alignment is off, your sprocket is warped etc, something is off, it's not the chains fault. Full half-link chains are 2x as heavy 3x the cost and stretch easily..

I think the difference is repeated use, average dudes will ride the same chain for 5 years, whereas a pro will bash hard and swap out in 6 months

I ride Flatland and Trials. Since 1987 I only broke one chain riding BMX but riding Trials I broke so many. If you know about modern trials you know how dangerous a snapping chain is. The Kmc Cool Chain is absolutely the only one I trust. Thanx for the awesome videos greetz from Germany

Hey guys I am a new subscriber here guys love how y'all rib on each other y'all. Very entertaining and informative guys. Y'all stay safe guys. Phu you are awesome. ✌🏻out guys

Chais are plenty strong. They break more easily as they get worn-out . Because they don't fit in the teeth as well. I'm not sure if the chain pins are peened over like a derailleur chain, since the straight pin can open. Bringing up another problem is not getting the connecting pin in properly. That was the main problem with derailleur chains and the connecting pin that Shimano designed that got pushed through had tiny ribs that outer plate rested in and the guide portion was broken off at the end. Your BMX chains need this and they will break less frequently. Anyway you really should consider the chain disposable and replace it as it starts to become 0.75% worn . Your cogs and chain rings will last longer too. Once the chain gets past 0.75% it starts to wear the system exponentially and left to go past 1.0 you will be best to replace everything.

Thanks for making feel better about running the chain I have. 😎

I wanted the lightest chain for my daughters new rig, but the chain stays are so short nowadays that I pretty much had to get a half link. That's something you forgot, a half link is easier to get the right length exactly.

Great informative video👍🏻👍🏻 I casually ride my '94 dyno compe attached with a baby trailer and i'm fine with izumi/kmc 410. I use a kmc710 on my '94 gt interceptor (race/dirt) and it's legit!

Thanks. Love the channel and im a big heavy set dude. I need this chain.

I've broken a couple chains. Mostly because i rode my chain SO TIGHT. Flipped over the bar one of those times. It was just a basic small KMC.

Unchain my heart Phu!

Why did Odyssey discontinue the Keychain? I think it was called, it had a hollow pin.

Dope video! a chain is always as strong as its weakest link.

The thickness of the chains doesn't indicate strength. The Z510HX is the only chain I've never broken. It has heat treated side plates and the pins are mushroomed, so it's crazy difficult to get the plates off even if you're using the big park press tool Do the modern half link chains still stretch worse/faster than the classic side plate style chains? Tried the OG half link chain (was it shadow, don't remember?) And it rode like crap because it stretched so bad.

Thanks for the video guys! So you recommend that last chain then guys. Thanks again guys!

In the old days kmc 420 motorbike chain I used them only ever purchased one they was used on 50 cc 100 cc motorbikes but they was the same metric measurement as a bmx but they did eat chain rings and rear sprockets ….. ✌️

What's your opinion on the shadow conspiracy copper chain

I used to use the other chains, at the time I snapped it I was riding up a steep hill and in a hurry, I weighed only 185 at the time. when I switched to the shadow interlock I had no more issues, no more stretching, bending or breaking...Though to be fair, as the chains age after a couple years or so of daily abuse if your not cleaning it and lubing it properly eventually it's gonna break regardless.

Problem with buying expensive chains is that they ALL stretch and start wearing your chainring out. Buy normal chains and replace them when they stretch. Half link chains stretch faster.

Shadow supreme chain is the only chain that holds up for me 🔥👍🚲💨

I have a Question ??? Kid here jumping pretty high off launch ramp to flat. His bike sometimes makes this Metal Bending loose bars moving bang sqeeck..... I can NOT find Anything Loose or Bent on his Bike from the outside ???????????? Is it the inside of the old school type neck broken ? or the bars kind of moving ? I have heard that sound before..... i want to trade my old fitbike co complete for the New Sleeper COmplete. :)

also i have the same experience the 510 is a very strong chain and will work for almost anybody plus the classic polished shiny one looks so good i used to ride very hard big air and spins and such but no pegs 510 worked long and hard if you are grinding alot thats when other chains should be considered ive seen people grind with 510 chains even and never seen one break I have seen 410 break and broken a couple 410 myself but thats mostly cause i was young and dumb and riding a very stretched and old chains.

I ride a heavy trike. Stretching is an issue. I've snapped 2 chains. They tell me its machine chain that is used on the trike. And although i do want something more stylish i actually do have to worry about function over form. I use coaster breaks and yeah snapping while climbing a hill is healthy fear.

That’s mine tinder profile had the chain just like that left it at SA

I’ll video. Maybe you could do on freewheels? I’m a bigger dude and pedal hard and idk what’s up but my last 3 freewheels got roasted. They just freewheel forward and backwards. I don’t know to much about them and the internals and what can go wrong and would love to find out and what to get. We love phu

I ride the shadow interlock chain on my fixed gear because there is constant stress on the chain. I've found this chain does not stretch easily, if it has even stretched at all compared to every other chain I've used. Looks and feels super solid too.

Either your front sprocket is not aligned or your chain is too tight. It should not be eating sprockets, even aluminum ones last me a few years.

If you bust a chain from peddling it ain't the chain, it's your wheel being pulled back too far causing your chain to be too tight. I was recently 250 lbs(I'm 215 now), never broke a chain from riding. I broke hundreds of chains when I was a kid and I was probably 150 to 160 lbs, all from grinding.
