The chain on my road bike has reached the magic 1/16-inch "stretch" point, so
last night I Googled appropriately to do some pricing. The first site I hit is
well known to most of you but I won't name it. There I found a pile of likely
candidates, but my attention was almost immediately drawn away from the type of
bike that each chain fits and to the prices. US$300+ ? For a chain?!
US$200+? For a chain?! I seem to recall seeing a US$30-something chain down at
the bottom of the list but I was so sticker-shocked by then that it didn't sink
in until I'd logged off and toddled off to bed.
Hey, my 10-speed cost under US$300, new (1979). Someone, *please* tell me how
to get a decent replacement chain without hocking my first-born to pay for it.
