    wow...

    i'm running chorus 8spd ergo (vintage '94ish) and i just
    replaced the sachs chain (~2k miles) with a new sram pc-68.
    cassette and chainrings remained as-is (also ~2k miles), as
    wear was minimal.

    i took the old chain off, measured the new one against it,
    installed the new one, and went for a ride. didn't adjust
    a thing (though i took a chaintool!)...and everything was
    *beautiful*. i can't believe how much improved the
    shifting is.

    highly recommended (on campy 8spd),

    No miracle.we use PC-48s for 8s systems all the time,
    great chains.

    Do you have a (non campy) recommendation for Campy 10s?

    Cheers

    I have a recommendation. I use KMC 9200Z chains with the
    quick link that came with it. It works beautifully
    without any sounds. The KMC 9000 chain would work also
    but is less flashy.

    Its my understanding that KMC chains come with a 1 time use
    "master link" similar to sram's powerlink or wipperman's
    connex link. So, if you want to remove your chain for
    cleaning or other reasons, you have to buy another KMC
    removable link. Its my understanding that the KMC master
    links are relatively cheap - $1.50 each, still, its
    supposedly good for only a 1 time use. Is this true?

    Nickel plated Wipperman or the Mavic 10s chain(same chain,
    relabeled).

    Thanks Peter.

    How does the nickel Wipperman compare to the Campy Record
    10? The Connex 1008 is more expensive than the Campy Record
    10 here (UK), although it does come with the chain link. The
    Connex 1009 is significantly cheaper.

    Cheers!
