What I'm talking about is this product, which I haven't seen for sale at any other fixed-gear-specific shops, so maybe I'm falling for the marketing in the description that says it's less floppy (which sounds good to me) than chains made for derailleurs:

Because it was meant to take sideloads from shifting makes it better, not worse. If you're going to run a regular road chain try 7/8 speed chains. 9/10 will work but they wear faster and are more expensive for a fixed/ss setup.
