YBN MK918 Reinforced Half-Link Chain 1/2 x 1/8 Chrome 102 Links Single Speed BMX Cruiser.
The YBN MK918 half-link chain is a strong, reliable chain made for single-speed bikes where proper chain tension and durability really matter. The half-link design makes it much easier to dial in the perfect fit compared to a standard chain.
This chain is a great choice for BMX freestyle, single-speed cruisers, fixed-gear bikes, and custom builds, especially if you want both performance and a clean chrome look.

A normal chain only adjusts in full-link steps, which can make it hard to get the tension just right. A half-link chain lets you fine-tune the length more precisely so you can:
Get better chain tension
Avoid awkward wheel positioning
Often skip using a chain tensioner
Enjoy smoother pedaling and less wear
This is especially helpful on BMX and single-speed bikes.
Compatibility (important to check)Works with:
Single-speed BMX bikes
Single-speed cruisers and lowriders
Fixed-gear and track bikes
Your bike must use:
A 1/8″ chainring
A 1/8″ rear sprocket
Does NOT work with:
Multi-speed bikes (6–12 speed)
3/32″ drivetrains
Bikes with derailleurs
Simple rule:
Wide 1/8″ sprocket = ✔ correct chain
Narrow 3/32″ sprocket = ✖ not compatible
Bullet-style master link included
Makes installing or removing the chain much easier
Secure connection designed for single-speed use
Chrome look for clean or show builds
Matches chrome rims, chainrings, and other polished parts
More corrosion-resistant than uncoated steel

A chain tool may be required for sizing
Set chain tension properly — not too tight, not too loose
Tip:
A properly adjusted chain should have a small amount of up-and-down movement.
