    My chainset on my city (hybrid) Diamondback is a Shimano "Hyperdrive
    C",
    with a 7-speed on the rear. Is the SRAM PC 68 compatible?

    All 8-speed chains (PC48, 58, 68, etc) are compatible with 7-speed
    systems.

    Thanks Peter. I guess what I'm really wondering about is the ramping
    system on Shimano Hyperdrive - does that mean I need a HG Hyper Glide
    compatible chain, and if so are the PC46/68 a HG chain? (I can't find
    reference to HG in the specs for the chains.)

    Thanks. Rob

    I run a PC59 on a 2x6 setup. Modern sprockets all seem to be the same
    width so there is no suck. I think it works better than a "proper" 6
    speed chain possibly because the chain is lighter and doesn't whip
    around so much.
