9 Speed Chain Recommendation
I need to replace the timming chain and the regular chain on my Co-motion. The chain on there is a KMC but I don't know which one it is. I want a good strong chain. Any recomendations? Thanks in advance.

We run the same chain for drive and timing. Only need one set of spare bits to fix either. We've been using Shimano HG93 chains. I order when I see a good price. Just ordered 4 from JensonUSA, thanks for the reminder. It is said that Shimano rings work best with Shimano chains.

VERY happy with KMC chains. As mentioned above, in 9 speed, try the KMC X9.93. We have used this chain for a couple of years and like it. Notably smooth and quiet. I'm saving pennies to buy the 10 speed SL version in red. Yum.
