Are 7 speed and 8 speed chains the same width??

The perfect thread. Clear question, concise answer and a courteous conclusion :0)

We need to change that. Can I suggest some amonia, a blow torch and a length of piping to help fit the aforementioned chain?

 

[Mr Pig]

Too late. I've already spoiled it's perfectness by adding my superfluous reply!

 

[jpembroke]

that was like a proper bloke conversation, like when a mate phone's up about a drink:

Man: "pint?"
Other man: "yeah. Pub?"
Man: "yeah. Later then?"
Other man: "yeah. bye"

Excellent stuff.

And there was me thinking this was going to be a two-post thread.

We could talk about to how lube said chain .. that'd get things going a bit ..

 

[jpembroke]

chain oil?

 

[Mr Pig]

We could talk about to how lube said chain..

Sure. Happy to tell you more than I know about that.

I have nothing to say about chains or lubricating them, but since we've got this far, it seemed a shame to let this thread peter out so early.

So I thought I'd post anyway.

Surely the best way to keep your 7 or 8 speed chain clean is to have full length mudguards on your bike?
