What chain would you suggest i buy? My budget is £15-20 max and it is for a 27 speed HT that does a lot of XC. I run X9 shifters and rear mech and have XT chainset. Also is it worth getting the KMC or SRM powerlinks?
Thanks

I use Kmc 9 speed which comes with a powerlink, but check your rings are not worn or you may find the chain slips, jumps0

No my chainrings are fine.
Just need a new chain before they do start to wear due to a knackered chain.Constantly trying to upgrade my parts.It is a long road ahead as things are so expensive for little gain. n+1 is always the principle in my mind.0 -

I am using a Connex Wipperman chain at the mo cost me £20 off ebay. Quality piece of kit feels solid as a rock, doesnt snick into gear as quietly as a KMC but once its in gear beautifully smooth.
You cant go wrong with the KMC though absolute cycles doing a good price on them at the moment £13.95 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KMC-X9-Cycle-Chain-9-Speed-full-silver-shimano-sram-/290562403567?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&hash=item43a6de6cefFig rolls: proof that god loves cyclists and that she wants us to do another lap0
