I have been trying to find this out for a while (new model #'s vs.
old). I have used 59's and 69's for some time now. Can you
tell me what the new equivalent model for the PC-69 is? If you
know of some complete reference, that would be great.

FWIW, I just found PC-59s recently. There are - for the moment -
still suppliers that have them in stock.

I've done this on a tandem (on the rear chain) and the link completely
failed to burst into a million pieces. Eventually it started to stick and
skip. Sample size of one, I know, but with twice the regular load through
it...
