Is half-link more or less durable than regular chain?

<br />I don't see how you work that out. There are the same number of pins on a full chain. On a normal chain each link consists of an inner and an outer with 2 pins. Half links are shorter and have one pin, but you need twice the number for a chain.<br />

Ahh, you are correct Sir ;-)

So it's purely a material thing, I get about 5K miles on the Izumi track chain I use these days, used to get a lot less on KMC's I used before.

do they stretch more simply because they are made out of a different material to a normal chain?

the one i had stayed extremely shiny and i treated it no different to my normal chains which certainly don't stay shiny.
