    As title says.
    After dicking about with gears on my Gryphon I’ve converted it back to single speed using a cheapo KMC chain.
    I just wondered whether people went for cheap and cheerful or burly and expensive (relatively).

    Whatever the KMC 1/8″ cheapo chain is 510 or something?

    KMC 610, £7.95 from CRC at the moment.
    Avoid SRAM PC1; they’re more stretched new than the KMC after a couple of thousand miles!

    KMC 610 is a 3/32 chain.

    Just noticed you’re after a 1/8″ chain; why?

    Got lovely 1/8 velosolo chainring. 🙂

    The chain I’ve got is a KMC510s, buried well down in the KMC website.

    Charlie got the 510 for less than a tenner, best chain I’ve ever had!

    Also had a Sram, think it was a PC-1…..

    Absolute garbage! – snapped on me twice.

    Now running a KMC with no issues.
