Half link chain length?
I was planing on picking up a halflink chain but was worried about not having enough chain. The chains that I have been looking at have about 80-90 links. I think the current chain I have now uses about 100, 52/19 ratio. So does any one make a chain with enough links for me or do I have to buy two?

Like most chains, they come in varying lengths, you just have to buy one of the longer ones. BMX shops tend to stock the smaller length ones, while any of the 'track' shops, that seem to have sprung up everywhere (including online) should have what you need.
Otherwise just use a 1/8 chain with a half link.

I would stay away from KHE half link chains. They tend to stretch a lot from what I've experienced in the last 2 months with it. I have the solid pin one BTW.
