KMC HL1 Wide Half Link Chain

A half-link chain allows you to adjust your chain length by a single link rather than two, which is essential for fine-tuning the chain tension on bikes with horizontal dropouts or fixed-gear setups.

No, this chain is specifically designed for single-speed setups using 1/8" sprockets and chainrings. It will not work with the narrower cogs found on multi-speed derailleur systems.

Not at all. The hollow pins are engineered to reduce weight without sacrificing structural integrity, and the chain undergoes specific stretch-proof treatments to ensure it remains durable under high tension.

Yes, this chain is compatible with standard 1/8" drivetrain components from major brands like Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo, provided they are configured for a single-speed setup.

The KMC HL1 comes with 100 links, which provides ample length for most single-speed frames and allows you to remove links as needed to achieve your ideal tension.
