Hi all
For some years I've used the Wippermann 1z1 1/8" as a daily driver chain for fixed and single-speed including commute, audax and whatever - I just use the 1z1 for everything outdoors. It lives up to the "anti-rust" claims, wears fairly well and is tester-approved. I've even become fond of its fugly, agricultural looks.
Prices of the 1z1 have gone up (was £8, now £12-15) so I'm looking around at other options.
KMC now do a similar "anti-rust" chain, B1 Wide RB (ie "Rust Buster") and I wondered if anyone has tried it, or has a better idea for a daily use chain that is anti-rust?
Cheers!
