suggestions?
Thanks, Frank

Can you name such a chain? I just received some SRAM PC-1's for my single-speed project, and they
are of the new bushingless design. Of course, they cost about $6 and include the handy SnapLink, so
they're still a great deal.

For my Surly Cross-check, I ended up going with the basic Shimano BMX freewheels, which work with
either 3/32" or 1/8" chains. The chain is
1/8" and the chainring is a Blackspire DH chainring (no ramps), which looks pretty good for this
use. I haven't tested this yet.

If you are looking for a standard non bushing 1/8" chain how about a Miche (Sheldon has them)
