edited March 2010 in Road buying advice
Was thinking about getting a new chain and came accross KMC .
They cost less than the half of the campags .
Does anybody have experience with the KMC 10sp. utlra narrow chains ?
Cheers
Chris

    work well, keep an eye on the joining pin as it sometimes flares out if not fitted correctly

    Yes, KMC normally work fine.

    I had a batch that cracked on me, but they should be fine now.

    Why not do as I am doing, Campag 10sp chain with KMC missing link? Best of both worlds then.

    I'm running a KMC 10spd campy chain with no problems, it seems quieter than my campy chain as well :shock:

    I use them.

    Cheaper, last just as long and come with the missing link.

    Not a big fan of KMC myself. I have used a couple of their 10sp chains. Both made horrible cracking noises. The second one snapped after only 500miles. The plates seem brittle around the pin but maybe they have improved them now. Im happy to pay more for a Campy one. I use Veloce chains now with the KMC link and they all been good.

    Cycle Surgery were doing Record 10 speed chains half price, great deal if still available.
