Is it just me or do all silver chains just end up black
It's just you
Clamp on would be the best solution
It would be A SOLUTION, not necessarily the best. If you don't see yourself ever running the bike brakeless then drill the forks - it's your bike after all.
It's a fork, not a ming vase
Personally I'd replace the forks with a pre-drilled road fork as these tend to look a little neater.
I'd go chrome as (IMO) this will look best - carbon would be good, however you'd need 1 inch threaded fork or to replace the headset and stem and (IMO again) old carbon = dentist appointmentPlus you'll need to get the new fork cut to length, and then road forks tend to have a longer rake on them which may alter your clearances too - so perhaps it may be easier to just drill the current fork
Is it just me or do all silver chains just end up black after riding for a week or so.
Anyway, I vote silver, I use kmc z510's and have never had any issues
