Note my use of the word "perforce." I CANNOT "fix" the chainline, for reasons I needn't go into here. The question is really whether I'll get better results from a SS or shifter chain.

The color question focuses the search on certain items, but if I was convinced I had to use a shifter chain because the chainline isn't straight, I'd go with a black or silver chain if I couldn't find the colors.
