Ouch. Sorry abt the toe. As others point out, standard chains should be more than strong enough for any of us. I think the only reason to use 1/8in chain is so you can also go with 1/8in cog and chainring. The added surface area should make em last longer, and I like the look. No easy changing of gears with 1/8in stuff though.
