Hello,
I want to mount a KMC X10 DLC chain in a beautiful black colour. However, how does the black coating last?
Does it last ''forever''? Or does it become ugly after a while?
Thanks in advance

DLC means Diamond like Carbon, it's a coating that sits on top of the metal, to reduce the co-efficient of friction.
Being a surface treatment it does come off after a while due to wear. You'll notice all the metal to metal contact points going back to bare metal after a while.0 -
Save your money and buy a cheaper chain, lube it with heavy oil and ride it for a while without cleaning. Voila, a black chain.0

Was about to say the same thing; my chain's black all the time at this time of year!0
