I’ve always liked KMC stuff, the only chains I’ve ever owned and all of them have never failed.

Slowly getting red parts one by one, brake pads and chain already done.

KMC. I had the BSD and it rusted very quickly. I'd expect the same of an off-brand chain labeled as a Salt.

I've had excellent results with bsd chains, and I like them over most others because the pins are "concavedd" so a chain tool can stay centered on them whille you adjust length/fix broken links etc. Really it makes a difference and makes the bsd especially easy to deal with.

I have heard mainly negative things about half link chains. Going to be avoiding them for now.

They're probably all made in the same factory ..I have the bsd and it's the same as a 510 with a half link

No it’s not. The pins are different.

They're shit for pedaling backwards IMHO.

Chain is on and I still have a massive difference between the tight and loose spot. Now I know the problem is in my sprocket.

The KMC 510 has concave pins also ..I think they call it bullseye pins from the way they press the pins after assembly

Omg haha so much bad advice going on in this thread
Chains are still a major issue in the bmx world, why because most of them are clones with the same failed design from decades ago
Theres only a few chains worth spending money on
Shadow supreme is by far the best on the market right now! Highly recommend.
Can’t think of a another chain to recommend because they all suck ass lol

Testimony and apologies
I want everyone to know that Jesus Christ died on the cross for all of your sins, he went to hell for three days and defeated death and rose from the grave on the 3rd day.

What would Jesus say: I didn't die for you to live like this!

Shadow Supreme. You can get them for pretty cheap. If youre the type to go through a lot of chains you want this chain. I still havent broken one.

I don’t see a single issue with a standard 510 chain. I do disasters, smash them all the time accidentally. They hold up great. I broke one a few months ago because i disastered a steel parking post that had a bolt sticking through the middle of it. Thought I’d miss it but it caught the chain perfectly. I see no reason to go to a any other type or style chain than a traditional linked 510 🤷♂️

I live in the rust belt of the nation. Ohio. I ride street during the winter and there Is always road salt, brine and sidewalk salt everywhere. My 2 BSD chains haven’t shown any worse for wear In these conditions. I got the blackish colored ones. Hmmm ....

If you dont bash or grind you will probably be well served with any standard chain. Just get one that doesnt flex a ton when you pedal. I hate when chains break while pedaling.
Still gonna say its worth the extra cash though.

Stock sprocket, only 1 hole. I can visually see that it's bent and slighty oval.
