Put in on the largest cog. It has no neighbors.

I'm sure any chain will work, as others have mentioned.

For a really nifty solution to the problem, I bought a Stein tool awhile
back that simply uses allen-head bolts to remove any possible combo.
Here's the manuf. site that has good info:

Super easy to use, clean, etc! I have no connection to the manuf., other
than owning their tools.

Not only do I agree with Andy, I've suffered no damage using my
home-made chain-on-a-stick with a FIVE SPEED Sedis chain. Just hold the
big cog rather than try to force it down between two smaller ones.

Other dictionaries list an additional definition of "cog" as "a
cogwheel" so nobody has used it incorrectly.

http://www.answers.com/cog

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/cog

Besides, dictionaries are descriptive of how words are used, not
prescriptive of how they should be used.

But the first time you change chains, you can alays put the remainder on
your chainwhip and you'll have a 10s chainwhip. If you really think it
helps.
