Gents, is there much real world difference (except price) in the KMC 9 speed chain line up?

Thanks

    Weight, and presumably strength. I buy cheap ones and they last ages.

    deffinately, i wont use anything else but x10-93s, 10 speed ,will out last any of the more expensive gold blingy chains that kmc sell, unless your a weight weenie counting grammes, £20 a chain great value.

    I've had the 73 and the 93, I wouldn't spend the extra if it wasn't on offer

    Except you can get the X9SL on eBay from Taiwan for £21 or so. So you can be a weight weenie gram counter and not break the bank!

    +1 but get mine for €15 (that's £12 in old money!) from Bike-Discount
