i'm a newb when it comes to working on my bike but i'm trying. I have a set of tire repair kit (seat bag, tube, patch kit, allen set, multitool). all i need now is a replacement chain for that long back country ride. I'm looking for a chain and noticed the different specs such as: 10speed, 9 speed and 8 speed specific.
what do I have? i have a double chainring compact with an 8 speed cassete(8 different cogs on the rear). so which replacement chain should I get? also is there a chain that doesn't require a chain tool to replace?
what about this, it seems like it doesn't require a chain tool for replacement:
