Half Link Chain

[Jordo99]

Hey,
I have been told by mates that a half-link chain is the way to go. And I wont need to run a tensioner. I want to buy one tonight i just don't know what size to get.
I have a stp. Do I get the 1/8 or 3/32.

dont bother with a full half link chain, just get a single half link. theyre like 2 bucks (or free if your local shop likes you) and its a stronger solution than a full half link, since a half link has bends in the plate, it will stretch a lot more than a regular chain

I asked a few shops and other dealers, and quite a few put me onto this.

So in other words if i was to get the full half link i need the 1/8 size?

1/8th is what I got, fit perfect to Eastern Phorcycs front cog and DMR rear hub.

Full half-link chains are pretty much rubbish. Weaker, stretch prone, heavy...Just fit one single half-link as singlespeedfreeride suggests and you'll get the same effect with less problems.
