[Mr Adonis]

Done a search, but cant find any info.
My chain needs replacing. Currently chain is SRAM PC1130
Looking at KMC chain.

But there is an Intrepid brand?

Best chains. Longest lasting. Quietest.

Been reading up on chains and the Eagle 12 speed supposedly works very well on the 11speed. Very quiet and lasts longer than the 11sp.
Dunno about KMC but apparently they are great lol

KMC chains tend to be more durable than SRAM, but you'd probably want some ear plugs, because they're often very noisy, even moreso than SRAM chains, which aren't exactly known for being quiet. Throw a Shimano chain on.

I have not found that to be the case. Some models last well, others are crap, and they're often noisy.

I use KMC’s X11SL on all my 11 speed bikes, X01 and XX1 drive trains, and rate is as the best chain. SRAM’s PC-X1 is not as good in any regard I’ve found. All bikes arrived with PC-X1 and I quickly swapped them out.

Interesting. I have only used the KMC x10SL and x11SL chains. Haven't worn a x11 out yet but the x10s have outlasted other 10 speed Shimano and SRAM chains I have used. Have not noticed that they were noisy.

I swapped my NX chain to X1 as I have always had a good run with them.

At $100+ verses $30, one would hope so.

Aren’t KMC the manufacturer of Shimano chains anyway? Or so I read many many years ago...

GX are pretty average IMO. Can’t see those having a great life. (Yes, I’ve run GX eagle...couldn’t get rid of it fast enough...but that’s just me)

Got 12 months +... about 1500km out of a GX chain.
For $25 ... can't really complain.

Its just you.

That all? I’ll stick to much more out of my $22 XT’s

Meh.... I'm not that much of a tigharse to worry about it.

At least you get a Quick link with Sram chains.... which are $10 a pop on their own. Bargain.

I'm a KMC guy. Got them on all my bikes except for the road bike (Shimano). I find them quiet, long lasting and I haven't snapped one under load (yet). They also work will with standard oil based and dry/wax type lubes

 

[Oddjob]

Kmc are good. The other chain maker of choice is Wipperman Connex.

But what lube works best on your chain?

I use Wd-40 / loctite 50 / 50 mix I made it. i feel it both grips and slips whilst staying dry.

I only use squirt now on all my bikes and chains seems to work well.
