i run kmc on the reign and stumpy, as soon as the p7 needs a new chain, i'll fit one to that too.
top notch bit of kit and easily handles my 19 stone pumping through it.

I too am also looking for a new 9sp chain and cassette.

It will be used in conjunction with a Shimano Hone Chainset, LX Front Mech, LX Rear Mech.

I dont have a clue what rear cassette i should get or which amount of teeth it needs.

This is the wheelset im getting just need to pick a cassette and size of rimtape, rimtape i think 19mm is right as the rim is 23mm wide

I was thinking SRAM PG970 9sp cassette in 11-32 along with a SRAM 991 Cross Step chain or SRAM PC 991 9sp chain. ( Not sure about the differences between them )

I have a SRAM hollow pin (PC 991) and use it with a shimano drive train.

Great chain and bloody light!

I've only had one sram chain break on me, it was 3 years old though. Broken no end of shimano chains. Powerlink makes the chain a doddle to fit and remove for cleaning.

I have a SRAM PC991,on mine.Good chain!

If your gonna replace your cassette (which you will have to do if you replace the cahin, else it will slip) you will need to buy a chain whip to fit it.

Can get on on wiggle for like £15.

You don't need to change the cassette because you've changed the chain.
