    The Interlock chain is made up of halflinks. There are no 'inner' or 'outer' links: each link has a bottleneck shape which interlocks with the links before and after it. Shadow reckon that this tends to even out the load on the pins and so increase useful life, which sounds reasonable enough. But for fixers, the design has another advantage: it makes it extremely easy to put the rear axle exactly where you want it in the dropouts. In fact, if you're into magic gear setups, this chain may be the answer to your prayers. It's only available in 1/8", and, being designed for BMXers, it's on the short side. Probably won't stretch to a really large ring. If in doubt, drop us a sales@hubjub.co.uk.

  • probably

  • not one UTFS comment? dissapointed and suprised
    thanks for the link hippy

  • i got a half link on the pug running 42x16.

    is your bike a conversion?

    i had to get five extra links from a forumenger for my raleigh conversion when I got a gusset half link chain.

  • Hehe you're using someone else's gusset..

  • i had a good sniff before fitting it too...

  • my bike is a volume cutter
    bmx style dropouts
    so very short

  • You'll be fine then. I recommend the gusset chain from SJS.

  • Charge Masher... £17 from Evans.

    long enough for my 48 x 19 with loads left over.

    and it comes in black.
