Which chain ?

[Doyleyburger]

Can anyone help me here.......
I am looking to get a new chain for my giant defy 4.
Can anyone guide me as to what is a good chain to get as I'm sure there are lots of different types in terms of quality etc

In my personal experience NOT a Shimano, never used KMC but warmly written about, I always use SRAM.

OK that's the 3rd time today someone has mentioned kmc. Probably ho down that road then.

kmc for chains; sram for cassettes

KMC. Don't pay for fancy finishes either, basic ones are fine.

Have just ordered a kmc.
Thanks for all your feedback

Blimey,
I have run KMC chains for tens of thousands of miles throughout the years and never had one snapped.

was about to commute to work this morning, clipped into pedal, half rotated crankset and snap - didn't even go a yard

Last year had a KMC X9 93 outer plate snap after 1000 miles. Whether that was the cause or as a result of or coincidental to the Missing Link snapping i don't know.....has posed a question though.
