Yeah, I'm pretty sure - It's the

It lists it as 3/32", which is the width that
Brompton recommend for a 6-speed. I'm not sure why the Amazon link says 7.4mm wide, elsewhere I've seen 7.3mm wide. But it was definitely shorter than the old chain I took off, for the same number of links.
I think I'll go with the suggestions and get a set of sprockets as well. Now, if I can just figure out how to get the powerlock link off this Shimano chain, it'd be great!
