About this product
This NOS (New Old Stock) Wippermann Road Racing Bicycle Chain, model White Star, is designed for both 5-speed and 10-speed setups with 116 links, and is compatible with Schwinn bicycles from the 70s. Crafted from steel in a silver finish, it measures 3/32" in width. Originating from Germany, this chain is suitable for a wide range of bike types, from universal and beach bikes to various BMX, city, and gravel bikes, making it a versatile replacement part.
Our take
For those seeking a period-correct or high-quality vintage chain, this NOS Wippermann White Star chain is quite interesting. Its 116 links are versatile for 5 and 10-speed systems, and the steel construction suggests good durability. It's a German-made component, which often implies good engineering. Given its "new old stock" status, it’s a unique find for retro builds or restorations, particularly for 70s Schwinn models. The compatibility with such a wide array of bike types is a definite plus, though the 3/32" width indicates it's specifically for narrower drivetrains, so check your system's requirements.
