new 10speed chain.

mike hunts alpine

Any recomendations on a decent 10 speed chain for shimano. Had the hg75 but I really didn't look after it as well as I could of. So today in the middle of nowhere it took its own life to stop the abuse. Yay 2.5 hour walk back to civilization.
Anyhoo need a replacement so recomend away.

poah

take some links with you next time.

I've just got an SLX 10sp chain

Not to be a pendant, but that's not a great idea

KMC, I havn't been very impressed with the longevity of Shimano chains, I use KMC X10 L or SL if the best is good.

Powerlinks are 9 spd and reusable. The equivalent SRAM 10 spd are powerLOCKS and not reusable. Rubbish

Ah, got you now.

I should have been more precise; was using Powerlinks as a generic term.
I use the KMC 10spd Chain connector. They are re-usable (if a little tight!)
