Eventhough the 3/32" KMC K710 used to come stock on the Pista Concept, the quietest chain that I've used is the
1/8" KMC K710 "Kool" chain. It's less than $20. Most local shops that carry BMX parts have them in stock.
There's also a
1/8" KMC K710-SL that is 20% lighter. I've never tried it, though.
I like the KMC chain because it's strong as all get out. It's designed for tough BMXing.
For heavy-duty BMX freestyle and track bikes. OS outer and tall inner plates for incredible tensile strength. Eliminates stretching and chain drop. Xtra-strong bull's eye pin rivets. Corrosion resistant.
The gold/gold chain on my current bike is an Izumi. It's kind of noisy, though. I've got a fresh K710 in a box that I'm going to install pretty soon.
