A 10 sp chain will work with any ~3/32 cogset, from 5 to 10. It's when using "lower number" chains with "higher number" cogsets that you sometimes (not always -- I've found that 9 sp chains work fine on some 10 sp cassettes) have problems.
Odd: the Surley Dingle 2-speed fixed cog needs at least a 9 sp chain. 8/7 speeders' pins rattle/tinkle on the adjacent cog. Wish they had added what, .2 mm?, to the gap to accomodate all 3/32 chains.
