KMC Are the go to chain
KMC offer great chains with the x11 el being the best value and durability etc
Pros & Cons

Quality at great price
5 / 5
Good quality at reasonable price
I have been using mostly KMC chains for some years. Overall, they provide better value than the equivalent chains sold under drive chain manufacturers names. They have never let me down whether used for touring, club rides or general day to day cycling. The EL chain is the one I always come back to as it provides a good balance between weight, longevity and quality.

Top necklace at a great price
Last chain took the standard X. That one is clearly a step down in all respects anyway. This one runs nicely, looks good and is lighter. From now on the EL

Serious company
Had some questions after I placed my order. Wrote to customer support who responded quickly.
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Excellent channel
The chain is perfect, and the finish is far superior to that of the SRAM chain I used to use (0.75% wear in less than 500km...). However, be careful to fit the right number of links from the outset, as even if you use the half-extended link technique, once you've put it back in place there's a hard spot and it won't pivot as well.
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Good chain for good price
Very durable and reliable chain. I do always replace my chains after 2500 to 3000 km so the cassette is usable much longer ! I have e.g. a Campagnolo cassette that has over 25000 km already.....
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
It's fun working with quality products!
Previous chain on my MTB was identical and still not worn out after many years. Just replaced my chain as a precaution to extend the life of the cassette.

Kmc quality at the right price
Kmc is a good alternative to Shimano chains. The quick-release fastener makes assembly safer.
Pros & Cons

Very happy with my purchase.
I changed the same chain after 7000 kms. After 500 kms with this one, I've regained my responsiveness. What's more, fast delivery, received in less than 48 hours. Serious seller that I recommend.

Great wear-resistant chain, and looks great on my BMC.
Fine chain that makes itself audible at first, but is super quiet after running it in. This chain is as described by Mantel unprecedented wear resistance. Very happy with it.

Good laternative for Campagnolo original
I am a real Campagnolo fan, until now I always rode with the original Campa chains in combination with Chorus cassettes. And yes, the way that Campa chain should be mounted is technically the nicest solution. But the KMC solution, with the "missing link" is many times simpler and really just as good. Now I have to experience the durability of this chain....
Pros & Cons

a gold chain and a new handlebar tape can do wonders :)
Thanks to quick-link easy to mount.
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Great excellent purchase.
The missing link went on awkwardly. Cause incompetence I think. Keep practicing. Chain is perfect, cycling is a lot easier. Color matches other gold accents on the bike.
