What kind of chain do I need for my Dyno Roadster or for any Stretch Bicycle chain length?

[Nathan E. Olson]

Im going to build a Kustom Stretch Bicycle, I just don't know what kind or brand name, or how to search online for a Dyno Roadster Chain or a Stretch or Limo Frame Chain Length, where to buy it any info that you can help me with, that would be really Kool?

Some places sell it by the foot if you want to avoid having to piece together several regular length chains.

My Local Bike Shop sells chains by the foot. I don't bother with cheap chains anymore, adults riding on hills bust them. The side plates blow off. My single speed bikes now have double step riveted 8 speed chains. This is what the single speed mountain bike guys use. I just take my bikes into the shop and have them cut and install the chain. Expensive but it beats busting a chain when you are standing up and pumping for all your worth.

I just buy two or three and put them together into one.

Get a standard brand and model and put them together, KMC or something. Chain tool is worth the cost and allows you make what you need.
I doubt a stretched frame cruiser would see anywhere near the force exerted on a chain that a single speed mountain bike sees.

*2.(a) more cool colors in the standard size.
