    My personal preference is for SRAM chains for the powerlink connector,though the KMC chains seem to get good feedback too.

    What is the current chain that has snapped?
    2006 Giant XTC
    2010 Giant Defy Advanced
    2016 Boardman Pro 29er
    2016 Pinnacle Lithium 4
    2017 Canondale Supersix Evo
