I'm in the market for a decent quality 7 speed chain for a 730 XT drivetrain, what do people rate and recommend? I always used to swear by Sachs-Sedis (I have a long held aversion to Shimano chains because of the silly arrangement with larger pins to rejoin them) but these no longer seem to be available. The part tart in me wants a silver chain because I prefer the look to a black one, would an 8 speed SRAM PC870 work OK with a 7 speed HG70 cassette or is there a more suitable alternative?
