Imagine pressing something onto your skin hard, what would be more comfortable, a smooth or a not so smooth surface?

Chain would conform to the surface vs. say a regular snaffle that acts as a nutcracker.
Chains are slightly rippled not exactly an abrasive surface.

I don't call this slightly rippled:

Its not pulled tight , poor example because when in use it wouldnt look like that.

Whats wrong with this one? Hmm nothing.

On soft tissue, that IS abrasive. And I think they're way to thin in most cases.

Ok this one is cruel. I've never seen one like that.

If you want a bit that conforms to the surface, use a leather meroth bit:

I have a problem with leather bits. They don't last very long at all. Leather isnt meant to be soaking wet all the time nor does it taste good. Yuck.


Or a double jointed snaffle, those conform to the surface pretty well, and dont have a rough surface.

They do work well.
But a chain bit is no more severe then they are.
