Since chains are a consumable, the best chain is the most economical one -- there really aren't any
performance differences. I like the SRAM chains since they come with a connector.

Like oil for yer car, the least expensive compatible chain. Keep it clean, change it about like you
would hopefully change the oil in your car, 'about' every 3000 miles or so.

Funny thing, it's out of stock now. I guess everybody in r.b.t decided to go out and secretly buy

I think they put one in the tip of every smart bomb we drop. Something about the cost of the bomb

Getting sprockets is a challenge, but I find that using this on a bent with a pedals-forward layout
is very effective for ensuring that people get out of the way, and with the bike up on a stand, I
can cut firewood for the evening.

No chains used on a bicycle stretch. The pitch elongates as it wears. This not not really a matter
of semantics.

It probably shifts very well once you find proper sprockets. The _chain_ itself is ramped.

What do you mean, Kent? Are you saying that bike chains
do stretch?
This is a technical newsgroup, so accuracy in speech has
