Another thread was getting off topic, so I thought I would make it it's own thread.
What is your favorite Single speed chain and why?
Mine favorite, so far, is the lowly SRAM 8 speed chain.
I am over 200 #s and stretch chains a lot. The KMC 9 speed I started with had me adjusting the chain tensioners ever other ride. Tried the SRAM PC-1 single speed chain and it stretched about twice a ride, Nickle or black. The 850 Black, hardly stretched at all. The PC-1 stretched more in the parking lot than the 850has in a number of allamuchy rides plus others places.
People mention breaking chians, now I am pretty hard on equipment, but rarely break chains and, knock on wood, I have yet ot break a SS chain.
How are you guys breaking these chains?
PS I am running Surly steel cogs and rings. 2x3 at the moment. The KMC was stretching on a perfect chaninline 1x1.
