So I'm riding my local today, and this guy's chain snaps, and what happened 10 minutes later... yep mine did haha, it's whatever, I am considering putting my old shadow on but I want this chain my local shop has, the KMC 710-SL chain in black.... I honestly think those chains are probably one of the best full link chains out right now

OH and out of the one place where you would expect a full link to snap which is the masterlink... it didn't the solid non masterlink part snapped haha

opinions, keep the shadow, or get the full link chain and no masterlink

I would grab the full link personally, the shadow chain is alright I had one a few years ago I just trust the full links more.

I have a 710-SL with a master link or at least I did, and it never snapped but one time I had a shadow half link in it and it snapped and fucked up my master link. Once the chain breaks in its really good, but I'm going to get a Odyssey bluebird so the half link will be stronger and I think the chain is a little stronger since its made form the 510, but the 710 will do the job just fine.

I'd go with KMC 410H(Heavy Duty) They're $10 and better than the 710 and 510. I've had mine for a year now, the 710 and 510 only lasted me five months. 410H is just bulky as shit. Last chain you'll ever need.

Chains is a chain I always managed to get Shadow chains for relatively cheap hence been riding them forever.
Snapped quite a few but the one on right now has been holding up for a while now.
I'd just put on whatever you have.

I really wan an Eclat Disel chain. but I heard Shadow makes really good ones. But even a KMC will do fine to my standards. It's just a chain , not a frame.

if you want a dialed chain you can also mcgyver some shit, i have a heavy duty kmc chain - 35 full links and i had random shadow half links so i added in 3 of those and precisely dialed my shit where i wanted it to be,
