Most bikes have the speedo on the front wheel so changing the chain will have no effect.
As to the chain, any heavy duty chain will do. I've done plenty on Regina gold and not noticed any difference in wear. I'd be wary about increasing the gearing as this can put even more load on first and second gear.
Most Japanese bikes (and I assume Euro) made after 2000 had the speedo driven by a hall sensor at the gearbox. Going 2-bigger at the rear will reduce the load in lower gears, as it will gear the bike down (like so many cyclists on the biggest rear sprocket, furiously pedalling away up a steep climb). Going up at the front or down at the rear, gears the bike up and can increase load (but is unlikely to load components beyond their designed specifications).Originally Posted by Jon_W
