  1. No, I do not mean modern Campy 10, I mean old, clunky Ross 10 speed
    (with stem mounted shifters). I've got a friend who has let his chain
    become a hunk of rusted mass. Am I mistaken, or will a 1/2 x 1/8
    chain
    work here?

    TIA.

    No. You need 1/2 x 3/32 chain with plain ol' flat side plates. KMC
    makes some and sells it for the same cheap price as the 1/8" stuff.

    Full width (7.8mm) 1/2 x 3/32 chain. It's cheap and readily available.

    1/8 chain doesn't move sideways well enough, probably won't clear the
    derailleur cage and likely will not mesh fully, hitting the next sprocket.

    Nope.

    KMC Z50. Cheap, runs well. http://tinyurl.com/2sgtdj
