Was it on this list that, a couple of months ago, someone offered me a
deal on chains that I turned down for lack of cash? Cash is slightly
less lacking now and if that person reads this and still wants to
sell, will he please email me offlist?
Thanks.

If you need 7/8/9 speed chains, Vuelta has a pretty good deal.
Silver 8 speed chains, which btw can also be used with 7 speed, are $3.00 each:
If you prefer Brown 7 speed chains they're only $2.50 each:
Silver 9 speed chains are more at $15:
NOTE - the chains DO NOT COME with removeable links. IF you want them, they're a separate item and are called Q-links and sell for an additional $1.50 to $2.00 each:
Vuelta calls their regular links "master links," but those are not the removable types, ask me how I know....Good Luck!

Wow, what a bargain. Brewster, have you used these 8-speed chains? Are they good?

Even if they are only one third as good, you can just buy three of them and call it a wash! ;-)

No, but they're silver and look pretty good. However, if you link removable links, they call it a Q-link, just make sure to order them at the same time! I didn't realize the Qlinks were separate and now the cost of 4 replacement is equal to shipping! Its still pretty cheap, but why pay extra when you can get everything shipping at once.
Further, even if its not "as good" as name brand, its still a consumable and at $3 each, changing them isn't going to burn a hole in your pocket!. You just have to do it more often. Good Luck!

That nonchalantness only applies to the durability factor. They're not
single-speed chains so they will experience lateral forces during
shifts and when run cross-chained. So I'll be more worried about the
things flying apart and me suddenly being able to hit the high notes
than wearing out those chains prematurely, not that I'm saying that
those chains are unsafe...

Wow, are you serious? Have you actually seen or experience a chain "flying apart" in this manner? In my 25+ years of riding, I've had chains come break, but I never saw a chain fly apart like what you described. Of course, there's always a first!
In any event, if you *think* this is going to happen, I recommend you stay far away from these chains. Good Luck!

Well, maybe not literally flying apart, but chain breaks aren't
particularly rare, especially when shifting under load and cross-
chained. It's fairly dangerous too, since the sudden reduction in
normal forces can lead to crashes at inopportune times.
I should clarify that I'm looking at the way the links are joined, and
perhaps I'm a bit paranoid from the routine peening done on main-
stream chains. But the chains are probably more than adequate.
