Hey everyone I need to get a new chain for my friends Ibex Alpine 450, does any one have any recommendations as to what chain I should get and also what tools I would need in order to replace a chain on my own?

how much do you want to spend? a PG950 or a z9000 will do... if you like highend, go kmc x9sl... you'll need a chaintool...

Do you know of a good site to buy off of I can't remember where I ordered all of my old tubes and such. Any good chain tools you know of mr perc?

pricepoint and jensonusa are generally good places to grab stuff... as for a chaintool... Parktool makes some nice tools...

But wait the PG 950 is a cassette?

The ALP 450 is an 8spd, so an 8spd chain is in order..
