guys sa experience nyo ano ba ang best choice(s)? from shimano IG series (IG 71, 51, 31 etc.) and SRAM power glide series etc.
yung mga magaganda at high-end ba eh puro pang 9sp lang? pano kung 8sp for life ka?

mervs, I've used all levels of IG chains and to tell you honestly I havn't noticed any significant difference although Im sure there is (probably weight) I have a new strategy now regarding chains............. I buy cheap but change often,hehe ;D... If im not mistaken IG31 will set you back 200 bucks....IG51... 250 I can have a new chain 3 or 4 times a year for the price of one xtr level chain.

hmm pwede...nice idea matt! am using IG31 too and IG51 on my two bikes. I AGREE la masyado difference. sabi nung ibang LBS personnel try ko daw gumamit ng 9sp chain sa 8sp set-up (like gavinchie does).sa experience daw nila wala rin major problem. smoother pa nga raw na-try mo na ba 'to idol?

Sorry brad this will not happen... as soon as 9 spd flooded the market you will see 8 spd will disappear and is not easy to find spare parts or I will see you will find but more expensive. Remember were going forward

I use IG51, it costs just a bit more than 31 but is half-crome so more corrosion resistance on half of the links. Finish is the only difference I think

u can use 9-speed chains on an 8-speed cogs but not the other way around. 9 speed chain's narrower than 8. i just use SRAM kc u have that connector that's so easy to remove and connect. unlike the shimano pin that u have to keep buying whenever u pop them out. heck i use to have one, now i dnt even know where i put that pin.
