My EK chain snapped on Saturday (jinxed bike I hear you all say ) whilst shifting from 2nd to 3rd at approx 10krpm.

Thankfully it just ejected itself out the back of the bike...only damage noted was a slightly cracked carbon sprocket cover and a BMW M5 driver whom I'd just overtaken with adversely swollen eyeballs....(cue Marty Feldman impressions).

Luckily I still had the DID chain I got for £4 from Carnells' warehouse clearout sale a couple of years back (remember that bargain day Geoff R???) so was back up and running the next day.

Funny it was an EK chain that snapped on mine

£1500 to fix it.

Mine had only done 6 months 1500-2000 miles.

How old/ miles had yours done ?

I am incontact With EK to see what they are going to do about it as this chain life is not exceptable.

They give all o ring chains 12months unlimited milage guarantee.
