half-links were originally made for chains that barely wouldnt fit.... they also look alot cooler and they help for the smaller ratios

I was running a K710-SL, but I snapped it at the park this weekend. I have no idea what's on now.

My Shadow is still running strong and smooth
I guess all the times I snapped it could have been the weak links
Oh It did stretch some after 20 hrs of riding

I NEED A PARK CT-3 CHAINBREAKER. BADLY. I can't stand breaking a Wal-Mart chainbreak every time I want to take a link out or put a link in.

I've done that before too, but it was a pain in the *****. Chain breakers are definitely easier.
