The KMC X8 chain should work with an older 5-speed bike, however because the X8 chains are built to a tighter tolerance that some of the lesser expensive KMC chains they don't work as well on department store grade 5-speed bikes which can sometime have cogs that aren't made to as exact dimensions.

Used it on a single speed. At ten bucks, it's the best deal out there.
For the weight weenies: it's actually one of the lightest 8sp chains I found, especially at this price.
I've used SRAM and Shimano before - this was just as good, and a bit quieter.
Quick link was super easy to install.
FYI - the OEM lubricant is petroleum-based, and smells a LOT. Might want to wear gloves when installing.

This item is high quality and a terrific buy. I have no reason to order any other chain. The link really makes it easy.

It's a good and cheap chain that gets the job done when your old chain is all worn out. I love the master link included, it makes taking the chain off for cleaning very easy. Works great!

Great chain at a great price. I already ordered a few of these chain and all my friends that need an 8sp chain also ride this. It is also lubed very well.

Love this chain. Running it on my single speed. The chain is very high quality, runs super quiet. I've never owned a KMC chain before, but now they are at the top of my list.

Hey, it's a cheap chain. It works as expected. Buy it and roll.

It's cheap and it works pretty well, about as well as the cheap Shimano chains, but for much less. The QuickLink works as advertised and makes it a breeze to pop the chain on or off for cleaning or other maintenance.
I use this on my Big Dummy, so it sees pretty heavy use, all sorts of conditions and get cleaned sometimes (it's a car replacement, not a mollycoddled race bike). It stands up to the abuse well and the price is right.

Put this on my winter bike for commuting 8 miles each way in cold, snowy, and salty Chicago. It lasted one season, and will probably last at least half of this season (with an increased commute of 15 miles each way).
Everything you use daily through the winter gets ruined, and this chain has been holding up better than others ive had.

Good inexpensive chain for older MTB or commuters. Good looking bright nickel finish for a touch of flash to your commuter. Master link is easy to install, but note that the chain as it comes in with 116 links may be too long for many bikes and you'll still need a chain tool to remove a few links.

A good chain at a great price.
And a master link at this price is a bonus.

I especially like the price match feature. Chain is easy to install, can be shortened by drifting out a pin. Works as expected.

I put this on a vintage Schwinn Continental 10 speed (no ramps/pins)....works great....the flared outer plates help with the shifting. The original 5 speed chains had protruding pins to help with shifting but these are hard to find in a decent quality.
