[Closed] What chain for my singlespeed?

I've always liked the SRAM PC1, the nickel plated version, not standard as it rusts quick in the British muck.

I've tried a few others including a cheap shimano and a posh KMC which was awful.

So £10 for the SRAM is where my money goes.

+1 for the PC1.

I use them on my singlespeed and fixed.

Nickel PC1 also for me. Also join without using the quick link, means I have an emergency link, but yet to use one in years.

PC1 here too. Nickel version only £8 at CRC at the mo.

KMC Rustbuster...whichever model/size to match the chainrings.

kmc z610rb

KMC Z610RB is for 3/32" chainrings (typically 6-10 speed).

KMC also do a Rustbuster for 1/8th heavy-duty chainrings.

CRC do these but their site seems unresponsive at present.

Makes the PC-1 seem very poor quality, I've previously always used pc-1 and this has lasted 3 times longer and is still going strong.

PC-1 nickel plated here. Going to try the KMC above at some point, but 3 PC-1s for £22 is hard to turn down. 😉

Kmc for 4.99 from crc, been good for me.

I replaced mine recently after trashing it with a cheep clarks chain which stretched beyond the point it would sit on the sprockets in 5 rides.

I was told that the KMC chains are wayyyy longer lasting than PC1, and there's a lot of SSers in the club.

I was also told to avoid 1/8" unless youre running BMX sprockets and chainrings as they're too wide and dont sit straight on the chainrings. someone in the club apparently had one jump off repeatedly as a result (I tried it out and there's quite a lot fo 'play' in those chains on normal sprockets!) so I went back and bought a 2nd new chain. Everyone now used Z610's on propper 3/32 sprockets like groove armada (not the thin pressed steel ones).
