i'm looking at a new chain in the next couple of weeks. the problem is i'll be changing from 52/36 to 50/34 for the marmotte then back again. will i need two different chains for this or is it easy enough and ok to add links back in?

I use a KMC chain on shimano. When I changed from a shimano chain the noise & shifting improved instantly. Unless the description says otherwise (eg it's cmapag specific or something) and it's the right speed (eg 9 or10 speed), you'll be fine.

Just bought my 2nd KMC X10SL in gold for 27.00 on Ebay.
Was that from Taiwan? I have just done the same, took a little while to arrive but they are £55 from CRC. I previously had the X10SL sliver which was excellent and much better the the DA chain I had prior to that.

They're what I usually use and can be recommended.

Would there be amy compatibility problems with replacing with a KMC (due shimano hyperglide narrow width?)
Looking at KMC X9 93, or KMC X9 Light?
Thanks....
I'd say get whichever is cheaper, unless the few grams difference is worth it.
