I need a new chain...

[cloggsy]

I need a new chain; before I blindly toddle off to Halfords and buy one, where's best to get one from?

I've got a 50/34 on the front and an 11/26 on the back

Thanks in advance...

I always pick my chains up from chainreactioncycles, offer good variety of chains and some with unusual features you won't find in halfords like teflon coated chains.etc

You need to buy the right chain for your rear cassette. How many sprockets have you got?

10 speed SRAM set up.

KMC X10 chain, that is all

I keep a record of my chain life here. Might be helpful to you in making your decision.

I'd posit a Wippermann 10 speed chain is the equal of any.

Look good - Has good reviews too...

Was looking at the X10-SL...

Anyone used one?

No need IMO, both my bikes have these, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KMC-X10-C...sure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&hash=item41594a2b05

KMC are my choice of chains now - X8 and X9. It's X10 if I had 10 speed.

KMC as good but my next will be the KMC X8.99 as they are less susceptible to surface rust being nickel plated.

Cloggsy, depending how its worn you may also need a new cassette. I'd second the KMC chain however, I replaced mine recently at 3,900 miles (mostly winter) and I was lucky my existing SRAM 10spd cassette knitted perfectly with the new chain, I expected it to jump repeatedly.

Yep. Just put this on my Boardman CX. Doesn't make me go any faster, but had no problems either!
Got it from Wiggle.

Make sure you measure the wear on your old chain though (if you still have it) as if it's too worn you will need a new cassette.
