Another vote here for SRAM rather than KMC chains

Only kmc chain I ever tried lasted just about 400 miles. Sram and shimano seem to last about three times that, as usual YMMV.

Oof, Amazon is full of dodgy kit.

Yeah sup with Amazon the last few years... Some real crap they're selling. I really wish they could sort things out.

Conversely I find KMC chains last far longer than SRAM, and are quieter with a Shimano drivetrain.

That being said I'm using SRAM 11 speed chains at the moment as they can be found for about £16.

If I switched to SRAM, what would be the equivalent of my KMC X10?

(Other sellers available of course)

I see a chain as a chain, a consumable

That's the chain I'm currently using. I bought a stack of them for about £13 each a year ago, still got 3 left or I'd probably buy another stack at that price! Ordinarily I'd have no problems hoarding more, but I'm moving house in a couple of months
