Restoring my Peugeot PX-10 - Chain
Once the decision was made to use an 8 speed cassette, the choice of a chain
was pretty much set. The shop put on an 8 speed chain. A KMC X8.93.
This is a well regarded chain at a good price ($24).
With this chain, I could (but won't) use 5, 6, or 7 speed cassettes.
But I can't (and won't) use 10 or 11 speed cassettes.
Maintenance
KMC says to replace the chain when it is between 0.75 and 1.0 percent worn.
I bought a Park Took CC-4.2 chain checking tool, so I can keep an eye on it.
Have any comments? Questions?
