Ebike chain advice pls

[Ming the Merciless]

most used gear on his derailleur

A derailleur just shifts cogs, it only has jockey wheels (rear), no cogs.

Wippermann Connex, but can only find their 8SE which is recommended for 7 speed ebikes with derailleur

... because 6, 7 and 8 speed chains are the same size. Connex should last for ages and an ebike chain in legs-only use probably more so. Here KMC explains the differences.

To all those posting about using the slang term 'acoustic'. It isn"t that deep you bunch of pickles 🤣🤣 That said, I hate it when people call the handlebar area a 'cockpit' so maybe I am a pickle too 🤣🤣

seems like a sensible term for "non electric" to me

it is clear what it means and is short and sweet - I use it when I need a term for them and don;t want to use "normal"

When I had my e-bike serviced earlier this year the shop fitted a new e-bike chain as part of the job, and it was noticeably better than the old one — quieter and crisper shifting. For what a chain costs, I'd just get one fitted.
