Same here. I float between 200-220, and I can almost snap a KMC 410 on command. Pedaling up ramps too slow and PLINK. I have flown over the bars too many times, I put shadow chains on all my bikes now

Dude is spot on. If your breaking chains you need to dial-in your setup. Your alignment is off, your sprocket is warped etc, something is off, it's not the chains fault. Full half-link chains are 2x as heavy 3x the cost and stretch easily..

I had a KMC HL1 Wide half link on my EVIL DJ .. really smooth riding chain and it looked really cool, but snapped after 6 months .. I watched this video before buying a new chain, about a month ago.. I got the shadow supreme chain and it’s just super tough! I feel way more confident on my bike now! Thanx doods! 🤙🏻 much peace and respect from the Southern California desert ✌🏻🤘🏼

I wanted the lightest chain for my daughters new rig, but the chain stays are so short nowadays that I pretty much had to get a half link. That's something you forgot, a half link is easier to get the right length exactly.

I just run the Interlock 2 on all 3 of my bikes. I’m 205 and I never have any issues. 410s are so weak. I’ve broken so many. For modern bmx you gotta go with the Interlock or Supreme. Back in the 90s we didn’t have this option so I always had the 510 and also when the 3/16 fat ass chain came out I rode that. Did a million sprocket stalls and never broke it. Can’t remember bending any sprockets doing that either. Those were so heavy so that’s partly why the half links were created. Also with 410 the chain doesn’t go around the 9T driver very good like a Shadow chain (or other half link) can. That’s why they call it interlock bc it literally interlocks with every tooth on the driver and/or sprocket. I’ve tried the off brands of half link and they don’t even compare with Shadow. They were the first to patent the design so theirs is the original and it’s by far the best!

I used to use the other chains, at the time I snapped it I was riding up a steep hill and in a hurry, I weighed only 185 at the time. when I switched to the shadow interlock I had no more issues, no more stretching, bending or breaking...Though to be fair, as the chains age after a couple years or so of daily abuse if your not cleaning it and lubing it properly eventually it's gonna break regardless.

The thickness of the chains doesn't indicate strength. The Z510HX is the only chain I've never broken. It has heat treated side plates and the pins are mushroomed, so it's crazy difficult to get the plates off even if you're using the big park press tool Do the modern half link chains still stretch worse/faster than the classic side plate style chains? Tried the OG half link chain (was it shadow, don't remember?) And it rode like crap because it stretched so bad.

Chais are plenty strong. They break more easily as they get worn-out . Because they don't fit in the teeth as well. I'm not sure if the chain pins are peened over like a derailleur chain, since the straight pin can open. Bringing up another problem is not getting the connecting pin in properly. That was the main problem with derailleur chains and the connecting pin that Shimano designed that got pushed through had tiny ribs that outer plate rested in and the guide portion was broken off at the end. Your BMX chains need this and they will break less frequently. Anyway you really should consider the chain disposable and replace it as it starts to become 0.75% worn . Your cogs and chain rings will last longer too. Once the chain gets past 0.75% it starts to wear the system exponentially and left to go past 1.0 you will be best to replace everything.
