Bikes: have about 30 bikes right now

I use cheap Bell chains from wallmart. Thay actualy run pretty smooth. The wal mart around here only caries 2 kinds of chains. You dont wont the 3 speed chain, makes picking out the right one easy

Bikes: to many to list

Ditto, I use them all the time without any problems, I used the Sram....I dont know what # with the hollow pins? paid a lot of money for it, and it feels about the same as the Wallmart one so for me its $8.00....or around $40.00??? Hmmm, decisions, decisions....

the 8spd chain should work great. or you could go with the SRAM PC-48 it does't have the nickel plating of the 58 model, and you save a few bucks. and you get the power link thingy if you go with either SRAM model.
