I've never run a shadow supreme, but i've had some half link chains stretch too much over time and i have to move my back wheel farther back to keep the chain to the tightness i like. Odyssey bluebird chain has never let me down for a full link chain. A lot of bmx brand chain are made my kmc with a bmx brand logo stamped on the links. I just stick with the bluebird although i wish odyssey still made the keychain hollow pin, that chain was awesome.

I havent had any issues with half links or 510 chains before. They will break over time but my second shadow chain from 2007 is still on my mid school dirt jumper.

Do I need to get a smaller chain cause my last sprocket was 36 tooth and I got a 25 tooth sprocket?

[@brian_dyin]

Youre gonna have to break the chain down to size with a chain breaker, its not hard just make sure not to push the pin all the way out of the link like my friend
