Hi all,

What kind of chains are you using on your friction 5-6 speed setups?

I'm running a Shimano 600 first gen crankset, a Gipiemme front derailleur with a 7 speed chain.

I've used the Shimano 7sp chain about 700 miles and front shifting is becoming really difficult. Maybe because the chain is just too narrow(derailleur cage too wide) and not new anymore?

I find the singlespeed chains which are sometimes branded 5-6 speed chains are too wide so they make a lot more noise than 7 sp chains.

Ideally I'd love an old Sedis etc. chain from ebay but I ride the bike a lot so I'd like to use modern stuff.
