124 link chain to fit Cyclamatic

[evendine]

Hi,

have been having some difficulty finding a supplier for 124 link chains to fit the Cyclamatic Mk1 MTB. Understand it should be a 7 speed type, but 124 (or greater) link items seem very hard to find and not sure which type to use (i.e. link length) although guessing it's likely a common sort since it's a mass-market product...

Any advice appreciated!

Also all bike shops have chains on a roll so can sell you the length you need.

Thanks folks - the Wippermann looked good quality for reasonable price, so went with that...

Hmm - Wippermann chain arrived and although marked as a 'narrow' type on the box, appears to be 2mm+ wider than the original. Not sure if I'm missing something here, but fitted it and now can't seem to adjust it in a way that prevents gears slipping / chain rubbing against gears / mech...

Sounds like they maybe sent a single speed chain tbh . That’s a big difference in chain width at any rate

Yes it says for hub gears in the link.

Certainly looks very heavily built for a narrow chain, although the box says 'E-Bike 7E8 narrow', as advertised. Guess they must have put the wrong chain in the box as some point during production. Will drop them a line and see what they say...
