10 speed chain?
I picked up a Sram pc1090r 10 speed chain at the Seattle swap meet yesterday. It was in an 8 speed box and I didn't check, $5 can't go wrong, right? I don't have any 10 speed rides so it's either toss it in the parts bin or cut it short and put it on the FG. Is it going to be too weak to use?

I agree if the FG/SS in question has 3/32 chainwheel and cog/FW it may be a matter of the chain being just slightly narrow for a fat chainwheel or cog
If the FG/SS has a 1/8 pitch chainwheel and cog/FW then it is the wrong size.

Not a question of if it'll fit. I've got a 3/32" ring and cog, it will fit. I'm just asking about durability. Answer: maybe, we'll see. Carry on...
