Shimano vs. Campy... chain
"I don't want to start a huge debate, but...."
What's the difference between the Shimano and Campy 10-speed chains? I wanted to just buy a nice replacement Ultegra chain, but the LBS only has Chorus/Record/Dura-Ace to choose from.
Thoughts?

i say don't waste money on chains. i would go either sram or shimano for shimano drivetrains, and either wipperman or campy for campy drivetrains.
dura ace and record chains are a waste for all but the gram counters, and they pay the price. ultegra chains are every bit as good as da's and you're more likely to replace it sooner(since its cheaper).
pesonally i use sram and wippermans because i like the quicklinks.

I run a Wipperman on my Campy drivetrain. Go to another LBS; chains are NOT something to spend more than $50 on

Actually, the Dura-Ace chain was 'only' $40. I'm transportation-limited right now, so I think I'm just going to get out there and buy it. At no store was a SRAM chain, at least that I could see/find.
Thanks for the help!
