2224.0. "TECH TIP" by WMOIS::RIVETTS_D (Dave Rivetts, WMO, USCD, 241-4627) Tue Mar 31 1992 14:32

    I strongly recommend that anyone with a bike that has the SunTour 
    Accu-Shift deraileurs that you make sure you have a Suntour AP chain,
    or, I believe the DIADO chain will work.
    
    I have worked on some brands of bikes that use the Suntour deraileurs,
    but don't use the Suntour chain.  I have noticed a significant
    improvement even on bikes that seemed to work alright with the
    non-Suntour chain.
    
    I checked with other bike shops in the area, and I was told the Sedis
    will work. I tried it, and it doesn't work as well as the Suntour AP.
    
    Free Motion will replace the chain, free of charge to those customers
    who bought bikes there, that have a non-Suntour chain with the Suntour
    deraileurs.

    The chian that I have been replacing has been a KMC CX30 and CX50.  The
    CX50 works a lot better than the CX30, but not as good as the Suntour
    AP, which is made by DIADO.
