Chain replacement

blablablacksheep

Just a quick question.

My canyon CF SLX will probably need a new chain in about....4 months time but since crc got some cracking deals on im going to stock up lol.

question is which chain to buy?

Current chain is a KMC but have no idea which one/type .

any suggestions for a chain for the canyon slx?

11 or 10 v?

If you can get a cracking deal buy some KMC x10(or 11)sl.
Awesome chain.

note: unlike many other parts on a bike, a chain shouldn't really be judged on durability.
The coatings on the higher end chains are just slicker therefor more efficient if kept clean.
Maybe check the guy from frictionfacts.org. A pioneer in reliably testing chain efficiency.
