[review] Shadow Conspiracy Interlock Chain

[old_school_goose]

in the 6 months i've had it, its been a kick ass chain. its been bashed severly, and has outlasted 2 sprockets that were ruined from sprocket stalls/grinds/disasters. easly the best chain availble on the market.

Just recently i got an updated drivetrain set up, 10t driver, profile 28t sprocket. after i got it all installed, the hell? the chain didnt work! heres what happened. on the loosest tension, when the driver turns, the lead tooth hits the pin and lifts it up, not alowing the chain to settle in the groves of the teeth correct. this is the problem you would typicly see on a 9t driver, but for some reason its doing it on my 10t. i'm not very happy, and i either have to replace my brand new driver and sprocket for bigger sizes which well cost over 100 dollars, or get a new chain which is 15 bucks, which would you choose?

PROS: -undestructable
- .25'' adjustability (normal chains are 1'')

CONS: - expensive (59.99)
- it breaks chains breakers when it should be the other way around.
- heavy
- no 9t or in my case no 10t.

i give it 9/10.

i was useing the chain on my 28/10t setup it worked fine but i have to say that i was not that impressed with it pop's alot. now i use it for 1/2 links and run a 1/8 chain with a 1/2 link

you could reduce its weight by sticking some normal links in it, if you could be bothered.

The dudes at shadow conpiracy sais the chain shouldnt be used with other styles ofchain becuase they well not fit properly and well cause a breakage

I heard good things about it, how more heavy is it compared to other street chains.

its not supposed to work with a 25-9 or 28-10 driveline.

sais on the box not to be used with 25-9, nothing about 28-10. thres a pic in ridebmx of ryan sher using either 28t or smaller sprocket with a shadow chain. i dont know how he could have got it runing.

You've got it on backwards man. Shadow says it'll last way longer if you make sure to put it on right. Plus if you ever have problems with it shadow will be a lot easier to deal with if you actually used it properly.
