Well I wasn't thinking about a specific bike but it sounds like compatability is the real issue, and wieght versus durability versus cost (within a given brand) is my prerogative?
So I should put a Shimano chain on my shimano bike, a sturmey archer chain on my SA bike and a rusty old chain on my rusty old schwinn?
I found another thread where a couple of guys said that SRAM works pretty good on a variety of gears for a decent price. Would it be a bad idea to try to find one decent brand that works on all my old bikes?
Thanks for the clarification, I haven't been able to find much on this.
