Does anyone know if they do one as i can't seem to

And if so who sells them.

not suer about half links, but the do links, and you might have to adjust your chain, what size chain did you get?

Iris makes a "1/2" link (3 rollers, RXL, part #BT280310067), but I don't know if the width between links and inner bushing diameter is the same as the R1. Sometimes aftermarket rear axle snail cam adjusters are oversize and allow more leeway in chain adjustment in order to preclude the need for a half-link.

iris links don't fit r1 chains, I found out on sun when my split link vanished into some lincolnshire mud :wacko: borrowed an iris one and they are a lot chunkier than the r1 chain.

Cant you just remove a link and adjust your wheel?????

I'm sure Dabster i right can't seem to find them anywhare which

i find strange'tried the other manufacturers links although all being

of the same pitch the renthal chain has a much larger pin size.

The trouble has arose because if you buy the recomended 102

link chain when fitted the wheel/tyre clearance is so small that

when the wheel is turning quickly it rubs on the lower part of the

shock body and swing arm.If you use a chain of 103 links in length

you have run out of ajustment before you start.By the way this is on a beta!

Try an iris, a few don't like them but they work for me fine. Just put a half link in mine to day and rivetted it in!!!

That cse in metalwork wasn't wasted............... :wacko:

half links are not as strong, because of the offset bend in the metal, so most mfr avoid them.

What is changed, different sprockets, or ??? was it always that way?
