I decided to run PC870s on my bikes because they shift so well and look great. I figure I replace a chain so infrequently that I'm willing to spend more than $5. But if I had to outfit a whole fleet I'd probably go cheaper. As to whether they will work on a freewheel with tighter pitch than a traditional 120mm 5-speed or 126mm 6-speed I have no idea. I was told they would when considering an Ultra-6, but the fit seemed pretty tight.
