Right Chain for Uniglide 6 speed Freewheel?
I just acquired a Shimano 600 (AX or EX?)Uniglide 6 speed Freewheel with the twisted tooth design from the 80s. My question is, what kind of chain will work with this? Does it have to be a Uniglide chain from that era?

No, any current 7/8-speed chain will work fine.

See my post from today about lubing new chains...I just put a new chain on my 6 speed drivetrain (with uniglide freewheel), and it works great! I used a SRAM chain but apparently any 8 speed chain should work.
