I'm getting another bike just for looks. No tricks. Im wondering if a gusset half link chain is ok to cruise on without the cautiousness of breaking. Ive seen many bad reviews on half link chains but also good ones, but i think half link chains look better in my opinion. And the only purple half link chain i could find was a gusset....

Half link chains are really strong. To me a half link is stronger than a full link, but that is just because I have a Shadow Interlock V2 Supreme cold forged chain.
Phew what a sentence.
Yeah half links look away better than full links on a BMX. My opinion.
If it breaks, then you're fine, it won't be in the middle of a trick anyway.
It doesn't matter where a train goes. It's decidin' to get on that does.

I have a shadow interlock V2 which isn't the same as the shadow supreme halflink (i actually have both of them).
when i first installed my interlock v2 it stretched, and I had to re-adjust my back wheel. Then it streched more, then I readjusted more. It streched even more, then i cut another link off. It's been several months since then and I haven't had any more problems with it.

Buying a bike to look at it.
That seems logical.
If it's going to spend more time on your couch and Instagram, it doesn't fucking matter what parts you're going to buy.

Yep it's my fuckin choice dick. Just because i'm not going to go to a park with it doesn't mean i can't cruise with friends as a nice casual bike.

NO! Don't do that... Buy the most elite custom you can spend your hard earned dollars on. One of two outcomes will happen.
1.) your casual bikeride won't stay casual.
2.) you'll wind up selling on craigslist for $250 to someone who can't afford a badass custom.
Either way, it will get ridden. Win Win IMHO

Why would you need a chain on a bike you won't ride anyway?
Build it up, take pictures, tear it down.
Chains are annoying to move around.
They are either too long or too short for your next "cruise" bike.
Just take pictures and photoshop your chain in.
Count the "likes" on instagram.

It's either going to be:
freedom of speech.
This is my art.
it's called FREE STYLE for a reason.
Or because they have fat tires, pedal slow, have no brakes, smoke too much weed and can't figure out why everyone wlse doesn't have the exact same setup as theirs BECAUSE IT'S OBVIOUSLY THE BEST EVAR

First time i heard someone said i'm jelly because i can't afford a cruise bike. lol
You don't need the strongest half-link for a "cruise" bike.
I bet he's getting oil-slick freecoaster for his "cruise" bike or a profile elite or zcoaster since he can afford it.
Just call it a "swaggie pose" bike, you're giving real cruiser bikes a bad name.
Oh yeah, i'm jelly as fuck man....
As for advice, get the new shadow interlock supreme chain, for max swag.
They're the most expensive halflink in dan's, since you can afford it.
that's the idea right?
Don't forget to post a bike check. Everyone will suck your e-peen.
I got dibs.

This is retarded, if you want a good cruise bike get a 24 or a 26.
Then again, swag and approval from the internet is pretty important....

He doin it for the followers.
IMO, you wouldn't break any chain just by cruising.
Am I the only one who likes to see scratches, wear marks, etc. on my bike?
You say BMX is your life but you barely ride.
BUT hey, That's none of my business.

It's not a bike i'll post. im getting another bike because i just want a nice bike that i can keep for a long time and not get any scratches or rust. it's just for my pleasure. half link chains look the best. i never had one before, so the bad reviews i have seen made me skeptical about getting one. im not going to argue on the internet, but thanks Mr. GoodBAR for the good review and comment man

"Not get any scratches"
Photoshop images of all the parts together. Free and no scratches ever.

Not sorry.. This is probably the dumbest thread I've seen in a long time.
You want ANOTHER bike JUST to cruise around with friends... Why? Why not just save that money for other things or upgrade your current bike? Why do you need another bike solely to ride with friends, why not just use your current bike? Why waste the money on a good bmx bike when it's never gonna get ridden?

My current bike is a redline. im getting a custom sunday. and so what its my money. why does it concern you? and i dont care about a "thread," i didnt know if half link chains were good so i had to find a random site and ask in the forum. i just made this account. i can buy two more bikes if people like asking so many questions about what im going to do with them.

Just because im getting it to mainly cruise doesnt mean im not ever going to take it to a park or something. all these comments act like im going to buy it and sit the shit in storage for years or somethin. BMX bikes are fucking amazing and everyone knows it, this site is fuckin called vitalbmx. why cant i get a nice bike instead of always seeing one around town or online when i can have my own. again its my choice, i didnt mean to argue with so many people and still more people commenting. it was a simple question that i thought know one was going to answer on a random site

If someone is hyped to get on a BMX bike let him cruise around and be happy . We all started out like that . A half link chain would be fine , been beating my stock one up and it's still fine. Cruising is no worries for any parts besides tires really . Get a bike you enjoy and have fun !
