Dura Ace 10 chain differences
Whats the difference between the CN-7800 chain and the CN-7801 chain? Also whats the difference between the Ultegra 10 chain and the DA chains (since is only a few dollars difference)? I need a new chain in the next few weeks and need to decide on a chain.

To answer your other question, the CN-7801 is fully zinc-plated on the both the pin and rollers whereas the CN-6600 only has zinc-plating on the pins. This means that the CN-6600 will probably not shift quite as smoothly as the CN-7801 and is a little more succeptable to rust. However keeping the chain properly cleaned and lubed should prevent the rust regardless of the plating or rather lack thereof.
