Subject: [CR] Replacement Chains


My NOS of sedis chains has dwindled down to one. I searched the archives and it appears that the last discussion on which modern chains seem to work best on 5/6/7 speed freewheels dates from 2001. I'm presently using a variety of 5/6/7 speed Regina & Suntour freewheels on my bikes. My LBS suggested that a Shimano 6/7/8 hyperglide chain would work. My limited prior experience with Shimano's connector pin system left me less the thrilled. My second concern is that if I were to install a Shimano chain on my all Campy Cinelli, the bike my spontaneously burst into flames...& I'm not sure my homeowner's coverage would pay for the damage. (I believe my policy excludes coverage for willful stupid acts on my part.) Any suggestions for a currently in production chain, preferably one that uses the old push the rivet out/in with your Rivoli chain tool method of assembly.
Thanks
