Hello there,
Im rebuilding my fixie bike for some commuting.
IN its last incarnation during the cold winter. I ran it as a single speed with a 1/8 gold kmc chain wrapping around 38-14 gearing if I remember correctly.
The salty spray off the winter streets basically totally destroyed the chain within a couple of weeks.
I wanted to run it as fixed anyway, so i thought Id just bung it in the shed for a
while. (plus I had a puncture!)
So I am now have some road cranks with 52t on em, and a 19-20 flip-flop track wheel.
So I need a road/mtb length chain to wrap around all of that. I imagine?
Im looking at these chains to deal with rust issues:

I think I would benifit from the strength of a 1/8 chain as im running fixed, but will any of these be long enough?

Im not looking for anything fancy or lightweight here, just wanted advice on what would work best and any other suggestions. Cheaper would be better!
If anyone knows of a GOLD rust proof chain it would be awesome though as it would match the colour-scheme of my bike!
