Wippermann Connex 808 8 Speed Chain is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 52.
Rated 4 out of 5 by bigringrider from Lovely chain but rusts during winter months Very quiet and smooth, good quality finish rivets etc but have found it corrodes on the side plates more than some of the cheaper KMC single speed chains I normally use. This is purely cosmetic but I used to use the connex chains for this very reason for ease of keeping them clean, pins and rollers have been more resilient so remain corrosion free. Perhaps won’t buy again, will just still to the £5 KMC chains as this was over three times the price, either way neither failed or show excessive wear

Rated 5 out of 5 by LB64 from good for custom ratios Stock cassettes are often geared too high for my needs so I build my own 8 speed cassettes, sometimes from different manufacturers using 14T as a seldom used high gear. This customizing reduces shifting smoothness but allows me distributed use of more gears, thus extending the useful life of the entire drive train. The 808 chain handles my unusual gearing better than the other chains I have tried. The side plates are bevelled more than other brands and this may facilitate shifting. Also, the axle should be as forward as possible so the cassette is closer to the jockey wheels. This adjustment makes a big difference!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Technicals from Great chain! Shifts really nicely on my vintage 7-speed block, and same at the front (Campag 53 / 40 with Record shifter). Very pleased. Good value (a cheaper alternative was not as good).

Will it fit a campagnolo 8 speed setup?

Hi Will it fit a campagnolo 8 speed setup?, if not do wiggle have a product that will? Cheers
Asked by: paulwebb99999999999999999
Yes, any 8 speed chain will work with an 8 speed setup, as the sprocket sizes are all pretty much the same.

Is this chain compatable with old Shimano sora 8 speed ?

Asked by: westab
I had it on a Campag drivetrain hooked to a Shimano freewheel, and used non-index shifting, which was fine. I can't see why Sora wouldn't handle it.

6 speed?

Will this be OK for an old 6 speed (circa 1990) setup? I've tried measuring the existing chain width but it's tricky to do by eye with any precision.
Asked by: oblongomaculatus
This chain would only be suitable for 8-speed drivetrains however either of the two options linked below should be suitable.
