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)

Types of Chain

So what types of chain are you guys using? Is it better to get a moderatly cheap chain, or a really nice one that will last a while? Are Hollow pins all about style or function? If you were building up a nice new Steamroller, what kind of chain would you put on it? I know little to nothing about chains so your help is much appreciated.
