I can't say... I think I have the most problem during accelerations, and not particularly on hills,but do mash out the power.
My last few broken chains.
- I think I broke a very old chain up in Portland, crossing Beaverton Hillsdale HWY, I think I probably took off from a stop light. That was a few years ago, and the chain was probably overly worn.
- Taking my cargo bike out for its initial test ride, using generic 3/32 chains, broke the chain twice in the first 2 days, and decided to throw it out and go with the HG73. No big hills, but perhaps a bit of extra resistance with acceleration. Crunchy Shifting?
- A used gruppo came with a MKS quick link and used chain. After 100 miles or so, the chain broke and the quick link vanished at the first stop sign away from my house, also probably accelerating and shifting. Am I not supposed to re-use the quick links? The chain was too short without it
That did taint me away from using the quick links.
