1054.0. "chain recommendations for ultra clusters" by DECSIM::DEMBA () Tue Mar 21 1989 12:28

    I need to replace the ultra chain I presently use and I would
    like current recommendations on a chain to fit an ultra-six cluster.  
    There are two chains advertised in the Nashbar catalog that sound
    promising. One is a Sedisport and the other is a Shimano Narrow
    Uniglide chain, both for ultra freewheels.
    
    Can anyone recommend one over the other, or something better?
    If it makes a difference, I am using a Suntour Winner Pro cluster.
    
    
    	Thanks, Steve

	Go with the Uniglide. I have never been able to get even acceptable shifts from a Sedis chain, and I've tried most of their line. The best chain I've ever used (as far as shifting went) was a Regina, but it wore my chainrings at an unbelievable rate. I've always had good luck with Uniglides, so I stick with them. --David
1054.3	I like Sedis	MCIS2::DELORIEA	Common sense isn't	`Tue Mar 21 1989 18:42`	12
	>>Go with the Uniglide. I had a Uniglide that got stiff links with only 800 miles on it. I replaced it with a sedis chain and have had great success. This was with a standard 6 speed cluster. If you get a Shimano chain get the 600 Ultegra. I heard it lasts longer than the standard Uniglide. There was a past note that went into chain problems. Do a DIR/TITLE=CHAINS and see what else you can dig up. Tom

	I have a Suntour , ultra-6. I've used the Sedisport for many miles and never a problem.
