I'm contemplating buying a stainless chain for one of my rigs. Good idea? Bad? The reason I'm considering is that my "end-of-ride" maintenance usually consists of spraying the bike down with the garden hose & wiping with a rag. Cheap chains, I've noticed have a tendency to rust. Stainless might avoid that malady?

Second question (if and only if the answer to my first was a "yes): Does anyone make a stainless chain for an 8-speed? I see plenty of 9s and 10s, but have yet to find an 8.

Thanks!
