Maybe just a bad experience - any comeback Mantel?

- Alan, 7 April, 2021

I have had this chain before and I can’t really fault it other than the fact it did not last very long. I bought a new one and it twisted and came off my chainring and was essentially useless thereafter. Therefore, it’s a pretty weak chain. That being said, if I didn’t have this issue I would buy it again. Maybe it was a manufacturing issue / once off etc.

Pros & Cons

Feels nice while riding.
It looks good
Didn’t last very long - about 200km - read review.

Rigid thing and expensive too

- Jan, 24 October, 2020

After 4000 km I had renewed my drivetrain. Front and rear new sprockets. And I still had a new KMC X11 lying around. Too expensive to throw away. After a week I replaced it with a SRAM PC1130. The KMC is a stiff chain that can only lie straight. When the chain is at an angle (as it often is with a derailleur) you can feel every link creaking.

Pros & Cons

Missing Link
Shines nicely
Does not shift smoothly
Expensive
Restless running
Rigid
Too long (118 instead of 112)
