Dearest Scrod,
I've been want to try a bushingless chain, but it's really hard to find in the specs on sites if they are bushed or not. Do you recommend bushingless? What are some good (decent) bushingless chains? Why do most places exclude this information in the specs?
Also, how do I tab in forums, or am I stuck with pressing space five times? D: *1/8" pitch by the way
edit: I guess five spaces doesn't even work!

Typically if specs don't say anything, the chain is sans bushings.
The KMC K710SL is my favorite chain of all time.

I've been wanting to get the 710SL since I first got my POS bike :] I have just been now checking to see if it's bushingless, but can't find the info anywhere. Wait, so it is bushed? :O Probably order a sexy silver one off your site.

Actually, I have a question about these A23s.
In the spoke holes, there are litte burrs and shaved pieces of metal hanging around the inside of the rim. Should I try to smooth those out or should it be fine?
