Also, first thing you do with a chain, is clean the crap off it came with and put fresh lube on. Always.
Sometimes borrowing is not something you intended. I flew to some racing earlier this year, and sent some of my 'weight' with buddies driving the distance. They broke down (nearly didnt make the start of the racing, taking 3d instead of 2d to get there), and my entire kit bag with them - chainrings, cogs, pedals, spare chains... I had to borrow. I would have been up the creek if i was running 110BCD.

Hopefully nothing like that every happens to you, though
