Ok, I am cross-posting this to get some advice...So, I needed a chain for the Quickbeam. Local bike shop offered a 9-speed 3/32" chain. I thought, hey, it's a singlespeed, sort of. I use a White Industries Enos Dos I got on ebay, so why not use a bigger, more durable chain. A "BMX" chain. The mech offers a KMC Koolchain 1/8", which is asymmetrical. There's an inside and an outside. Hmm. And I am looking at it at home, and hefting it (chains always seem heavier than expected off the bike). So, I realize, it's a little heavier than a wimpy derailleur chain, but is it unnecessarily so? I mean, it's the bushings I want to wear longer, not the side plates... And bicycles are supposed to be, to my mind, just hefty enough, and no more, thank you. I think I have to exchange this chain for another...What say ye wise and geeky experts? Remember, it was $16. And I want to support my LBS in this land of the big box store. Exchange, or just wear it out?
