BMX race chain choice :
The BMX chain is one of the wear components of the transmission because it is subject to significant forces and friction.
There are two types of BMX chains, the half-link model and the single speed version. A half-link BMX chain will be heavier but more rigid and durable than a single speed chain, it will be more suitable for a practice of freeride BMX in which the chain will undergo many shocks.
There are several widths of BMX chains, the standard value is 1/8 "but there is also a narrower but lighter version, this is the case 3/32".
Finally, the width and type of BMX chain must correspond to the characteristics of the chainring or crown, of the freewheel or of the driver of your bike.
BMX race chain maintenance :
The drivetrain of which the BMX chain is part must be regularly cleaned, degreased and then lubricated in order to limit the friction between the elements of the chain links, the chainring and the freewheel pinion. Regular maintenance will help maintain a high level of performance, functionality and durability.
A chain tool may be necessary to disassemble the BMX chain, half-link models may require a specific tool, it's also the case for a driver and freewheel assembly or disassembly.
BMX race chain brands :
The biggest brands of BMX chains are YBN, KMC, Salt, Odyssey and The Shadow Conspirancy which specializes in half-link models. Different colors, shapes, surface treatments and materials are available.
