a SS chain, that is. i'm interested in trying the Shadow chain, but $30 seems kinda high, given the price of other chains in the 3/32, 1/8 niche. so what are some other chains that i should look at? i'll be wrapped around a King Kog and e13 sprocket.

Just get a 8 spd chain or a sram singlespeed chain.

buy my standard bmx chain 1/8"
$10 shipped
I had it around a 39t sprocket on a medium chainstay 26er" so it should work.
I used it maybe one or two months, switched out of hardtails and singlespeeds.

What do you want in the chain? Strength? or maybe really smooth running? I guess for strength, any decent bmx chain. I agree that $30 is a little much for the Shadow chain, when other decent chains are like half that. Does Wipperman make a singlespeed chain? I've always heard good things about their stuff, but I doubt it would be as strong as a thick bmx chain.

strength, yes. i've always used SRAM PC-8_ chains, and figured i could try something new.

I have the shadow chain. it's good

If you aren't running 1/8" c-ring and cog, don't go and run an 1/8" chain.
KMC and SRAM both make 3/32" SS chains.

Type NJS Chain in yahoo and see what comes up....likely the highest quality SS chains if that's what you are looking for.

strength, yes. i've always used SRAM PC-8_ chains, and figured i could try something new.

us bmxers run the sram pc99... although the whippermans are the nuts

 

[Wumpus]

Ahhh, bling.

 

[JRB]

I thought you just wanted to clean it.

The ROHLOFF S-L-T 99 TRIAL is a pretty badass chain that wasn't designed for much if any shifting. Kind of hard to get ahold of though.

SRAM PC-1 has held up great for me on a summer of learning how to ride fixed gear, not a bad deal for $10.

Wipperman makes the best chains ever! hands down. it is pretty much the chain of choice for all of the top track racers. and the only chain I will ever rock on my fixed gear road bike as I know that it will not break.....

I have broken just about every other brand and I cannot seem to break my Wipperman.....

BTW the amount of power that the top track racers are throwing down is pretty much a strong indicator of which chain to trust!
