Zonkie chains

[Vantage]

Anyone heard of them?
I've bought one from amazon coz it was the only 9 speed chain I could find that was all silver, yet can't find a single review on them apart from one on you guessed it...Amazon.
Ive always stuck to KMC chains coz they're good and don't want to have to worry about this new one snapping halfway round Colin j's Cheshire ride in July.

Talking of 9 speed why are 9 speed cassette's so pricey compared to 8 speed one's

The prices of cassettes is strange Campagnolo 8 speed are crazy prices when Shimano 8 speed seem reasonable? I made the mistake of buying a cheap 9 speed Shimano compatible cassette form China and had a 9 speed freewheel delivered, did not even know there was such a thing?

I always thought they finished at 7 speed till someone mentioned 8 speed on here, I've not come across 9 speed before.

No idea.
It wasn't any cheaper than the KMC it replaced. It's a lot quieter though. Recessed pins.
I read reviews of its 7&8 speed variant and there were no complaints of breakages etc.

Could this be the new budget chain king?

Try 12 speed 'Eagle' - you will cry.

10 speed cassettes are OK - upto £60 for a decent level one - but take a look at 11 and 12 - Oh my word...

SJS have them listed all the way up to 10 speed.
