Whats the best 8 speed chain to get

[computerbitz]

just got myself a new drivetrain for my marin its 8 speed whats the best chain to get for it.

sachs/sedis/SRAM PCx8

the higher X is, the better the chain

PCx9 is 9-speed stuff

SRAM PC68 - pick them up for a reasonable price on Ebay

 

[Max P]

Any Sram (or Sedis as they always used to be) - no discernible difference in performance between the various models.

the new sram 890 chain is very good

No but the PC68 looks waaay nicer than the cheaper ones

i'll 2nd (3rd?) the PC68 suggestion. made a *world* of difference over the sachs i had been running on my campy 8-speed road drivetrain...so much so that i immediately got another for my xt 8-speed retro mtb drivetrain. not as night & day different as compared to the uniglide, but a bit quicker/cleaner shifting to be sure.

can you not get an 8 speed equivilant of the KMC X9 Gold Ti-N Coated as it looks really nice chain

For my latest Carbon project I tried to find the best 8 speed chain. Now if the most expensive means the best I bought a ROHLOFF CHAIN 8SP S-L-T99 from BikeDock. £30, German quality. I've had Sram before and had now problems, and am having no problems with this one. Nice looking chain, supposidly the best.
