Hey there! I need a new chain for my bike. It has a Shimano Positron (6sp rear) group. Can I use a modern 8sp chain (narrower)?
Thanks
Thanks

New chain for 6sp Shimano Positron

I suggest this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Shimano-CN-HG70-8-Speed-Chain-Black/dp/B0013EP7IW/
I have had very good mileage from them on my 7 speed.
For 8 and 9 speed; I prefer SRAM; though they have noticeably less life.
