Half link advice for singlespeed needed

[ajantom]

Gusset half-link chain in 3/32" size (7/8 speed) from Chain Reaction Cycles.

Used one for ages on my SS with no problems.

... it's better, easier and more reliable to go to a link-and-a-half, like this from Billy's.

My current half-link is a bit crap.
Those Gusset "link-and-a-half" setups look just the job.
Cheers!

The trouble with half-link chains is that unless they're ridiculously heavy (which some are) they stretch, because each side plate is "joggled" and they want to straighten slightly under load. A "normal" chain doesn't actually stretch perceptibly - they just wear at the pins/bushes.
