I love regular KMC chains but evidently the half linkers have issues. There was recently a conversation here about how noisy they were because they are intended to be used on BMX drive trains which evidently have slightly different tooth profiles. And did you see how many of those reviews said the snapped without warning when they were new? I wouldn't want to experience that while climbing a hill out of the saddle or trying to burst through a yellow light at an intersection.
