Highlights

Half link, 100 links
Suits all single speed drivetrains
Extra stretch proof pins
Anti-drop chain design

Description

KMC have been making chains for a long time, and the HL1 is their wide half link for freestyle bikes. It is listed as compatible with all single speed drivetrains, comes as 100 links, and includes a connecting bullet pin.

The pins are mushroomed for extra stretch resistance and the chain uses an anti-drop design for long life. Worth knowing before you buy: because of how half link chains are built, this one can make unwanted drivetrain noise even after it has settled in, and the links may become stiff with tight and loose spots, as it does not use floating pins.
