Title: 3/32 Titanium chain (edit) Ti Nitrate coated Satainless, Still very lite.
Post by: Who-Leo on August 15, 2009, 05:09:31 AM
KMC X10SL 10-Speed Chain, Ti Gold
2 of there chains make 3 chains that would work on most flatland frames with litle or no wasted links.

One chain Retail is $55 x 2 = (110 / 3 =  $36.60)
If they only made them in halflinks!!

From what I've heard, halflink chains tend to stretch more then regular chains, so using a metal with such unusual properties, its probably best they use the standard links.
Nice find nonetheless.  :mellow:

be careful though, a local pro. rider tried the same, running mtb 3/32 ti. chain, broke his chain within a week. he weighs around 60-70kg, and is pretty smooth, minimal pedal tricks,  so...

all the best, keep us updated

This chain is not made out of titanium. It has a titanium nitrade coating

Exactly.  Dans used to sell a BMX version of this a few years ago, but stopped for some reason. I also bought one for my mother's road bike.  The BMX and road bike version are the identical except the BMX one has less links. I have one on my 2000 Robinson SST. Personally, I would never use it for flat, unless you are using larger sprockets and rear cogs/freewheels.

I guess i should have done more research, instead of thaking an other riders account as a fact.

If it has holes, it would be holy, therefore the answer would be satanless.

If the chain contains little or no iron, it would be stainless.  I hope I have been of some assistance.  :beer:

Yep, Ares made an all ti chain, but I'm sure other companies may have done the same.

No and no. The "Ares" ti chain is made by YBN, and has a TiN (titanium nitride) coating. All-ti chains do not exist (too pricey).

^ ^ Oh I see. ^ ^

At $310 USD for a chain, I see why they are rare.  :P

Nothing wrong with the tanga at $20 - $25 USD.
