Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

I got a KMC on one bike a Miche Pista chain on the bianchi. Honestly I can't tell the difference on my commute but I haven't worn either out, so I'll check back here when one wears out.

Have any of you tried a gusset chain? I kind of just brushed them off as a cheap chain and I don't know much about them so I didn't have any confidence in the brand. Their half link chains look a little funky (not the good kind) but honestly what would I know...

Your opinions would be greatly appreciated.

I had a Gusset Slink on my BMX and it sucked, it stretched really easily. Don't get it.
