I wanna' buy a...
Wippermann 1/8" chain model 1G8 - Where do I go to get one? I had a catastrophic failure (chain that is) 2 years ago and I want a Mega-Chain. Hook a brother up!
Thanks in Advance!

You arn't looking for advice but I recomend you do not buy this chain. Its great for what its intended for, BMX style grinding, but its the loudest heaviest most overkill thing I've ever put on a fixed gear bike. Mine now sits in a bag at the botom of a parts box. Also you can't use a standard chain tool to shorten it. Did I mention its SUPER loud?
Tell us about your catastrophic chain faillure and we'll tell you why it wasn't the chain's fault.

Yeah, that chain is total overkill. I use a Wipperman Whitestar, and that thing is a beast that I don't think Tom Boonen himself could break. Go with something like that.

Is this a thread where we all say something we want to buy? Or where we talk the OP into/out of some decision they should make on their own?
