I own one and must say, dont ever take or trust reviews in the mbuk seriously. They say the chain is very good and they give it a 9/10. Eh???? They only test the new kit they get in 2 days. . so how can they can comment on wether its going to last in months time is a mystery.
I have been using the chain almost 6 months, i only do xc and have encounterd chain strech, links which have been bent somehow, links which break easily.
What on earth is goin on? i maintain the chain constantly after every ride and use finishline lube. The chain is running on sparkly clean xt cranks/cassette/etc. The gearing is set up more presice then big ben. the shifting is amazing, no doubt about it. but the reliablity is another thing.
Does anyone know what the hollow pin version is like by any chance?

I've used that chain for nearly 3000 miles and it has streched just over 1/16" over 10". I have now changed to a KMC one to save weight. I used it with XT cassette and XTR cranks. I thought the shifting was better with a Shimano chain. I used it in dry conditions and I shift well (not under a hard load).
