"It was a funny angle!"
Anyone know of a local bike shop that has half links for mtb chains? I was going to order 2 from here, but shipping would be $8.

I know, I am a cheap bastard....but I hate to pay more for shipping than what the actual products costs.

TIA

Your LBS should have some lying around if they have a shop. Were to you live, I might be able to point you in the right direction.

thanks for the lead rpk1988, my father lives in Bal-di-mer and I am going to visit him this weekend. I will swing by that place and check it out.

Yea well I live in Columbia and I am pretty sure I saw some half links to chains back in the shop. What kind of chain is it for? Yea if they dont have any, then get them to order one. But I swear I saw some at the Columbia store when I was there.

hey rpk1988, I swung by Princeton sports yesterday like 5 minutes before they closed and found the links I needed. That place is really nice and the people working there were really cool even though I came in right at closing before the big game. Good place, if you guys haven't been there I suggest you check it out if you are ever in Columbia.

Sure enough I was in there and I remembered that a local monkey works there, Zach aka SRFUGHDPFBCHFYTRIDMFNDLFUGBFLEODHFLE. That is not really his handle name but it might as well be, just messing you you Zach :) Zach, or anyone else who might have Adam's (who is in South Africa) email, if you cound email it to me I would really appreciate it.

Will, I got an extra link if you want it.

I just found some in Revolution in Georgetown. I picked up a 1/8" x 1/2" but he asked what size I needed which leads me to believe they may have them in 3/32" too.

Yeah, I'm sure he has. I just posted 'cause the little buggers seem to be impossible to find sometimes.
I've got a few spares too, if anyone needs one, shoot me a PM.
