I can get one of these brand new for about £20 - are they suitable for DH/FR use?

I think so, but I do use them myself.

Haven't had any probs.

Ron Jeremy around these parts claims that he's broken links before under high load conditions. If it's a problem, join in the normal way, you shouldn't get any other problems with them.

I've been using the pc-89 with no problems and it runs just as well as a Shimano chain.
Plus it's got little holes cut out of the side plates (looks good)> They have them at crc!

My pc-99 apear to have a solid pin am i missing something?

yeah and mine so ??

Different year?

mine are new ??? but maybe old Merlin Stock was only £17 so ??

Probably cause theyre PC99 not PC99 hollow pin? That would be my first guess.I don't know if the hollow pin help anyhow but if it looks a cool as my hollowtech II cranks then they should be amazing (I Can see through my bike!!!!)

Good for hanging it up out of the way too!

good idea idea, i'm off to get a coat hanger

I put a thin pole through mine and made it look like the car out of Grease.

you can get hollow-pin and non hollow-pin versions??
i just bought one BTW - off eBay for about £20 incl delivery imported from america!!

:-}}

there are definatly hollow pin and normal check sram.com. i could put a pole through the crank and knock over pedestrians as i cycle along. Oh yeah you could use the hollowpin chain to smuggle little(really really little) things into other country

such as......













ants knickers

Used ant knickers ???

or gnat bongs
























yes used gnats bongs

40 fresh used, French Gnats bongs, I'm interested!!

Thing is you'd need at least 120 to make it worthwhile!
