This Electra straight 8. Bought it because it was a bargain and i wanted one. It has the clunkiest drivetrain of any bike i have ever ridden. I thought fitting a new chain would help so i bought a new Japanese Izumi chain for it (actually 2 because the chainstay is so long). It didn’t improve. The sram 3 speed coaster hub freewheels until the grease heats up. It doesn’t climb hills too

well either. I’m still happy i bought it as i snatched the nice wide impossible to find attitude bars off it for one of my other bikes. It will be making an appearance on ebay soon.

I know that Izumi chains are EXTREMELY expensive. Can you have gotten a cheaper chain that has a similar performance?
 
I used the cheapest Izumi model chain, not the expensive track level chains. Was only $5 more expensive per chain than a KMC. It had a KMC Z chain as standard which still looked new but with very loose links.

I was thinking of the Izumi Super Toughness chain.
 
I bought this three-meter fifty-kilogram dinosaur on a business trip in a southern city. He was all crooked, drove badly, heavy, my knees hurt, but I immediately fell in love with him and I saved him. Later I leveled it, repaired it, and after that it was stolen from me.
But this was my first chopper))
