So I'm building up a Single speed dirt-jump/street hardtail. Coming from a bighit I'm pretty abusive to my rear end and the chain (I crank hard).
Anyhow, I'm trying to deside what sort of chain to use? I hear KMC single speed chains are good, but I dont know anything about them...and I watched a BMX guy break 3 in one DJ session awhile back. And I hear half-links are the way to go for a single speed, but why?
Basically I'm just looking for some chain ideas, throw 'em at me!
P.S. While we're at it, anyone using a Juicy 7 or 5 brake or Magura Marta SL's for DJ? I want a hydro brake since I just love the feel of them, rear only (for now...but I may get a disc upfront later) and I plan to put straight line levers on right away, unless I get Magura, since they have carbon levers and the red bling already.
Thanks
