Help with new chain - Campag 7 Speed

[328isport]

Hi guys,

I have an old bike with Campag Super Record cranks/dérailleurs, its 7 speed downtube shifters, (non indexed), the current cassette is a Dura-Ace item, and as far as i can make out some Shimano parts/Campag parts are compatible when it comes to old seven speed set ups. I need a new chain and looking at Shimano chains so wanted to check if i'll have any issues fitting this one;

Or do I need to take anything else into account? I have the original Campagnolo sprockets and jockey wheels so want to make sure the new chain is compatible.

Also can someone tell me if jockey wheels listed Camagnolo 8/9/10 speed will be OK for 7 speed?

Forget Shimano chains, they're pants.

Get a KMC chain, you'll thank me for it some day.

OK thanks, i was looking at KMC chains also, they come with the master link which is useful, ta for the advice!

One quick question on KMC's, from what i remember Shimano's come pre-lubed if you like and you're not supposed to add lube straight away when new, is this the same for KMC's or do they need lubricating from the get go?

I've never added additional lube to any that I've fitted, and I've never had a problem with one either

Fit and go - they're well lubed already
