Sorry to bring this thread back from the dead.
Its seems lots of you are enjoying teh KMC 710 / SL. I have been using this chain and think its great - it just has one problem. Its too short!
At only 100 links the chain is just too short for big/big chainring cog combinations. Whats the next favourite chain thats a reasonable cost?
I can get Izumi Standard chains for £12 in the bare steel "black" colour. They are slightly more for silver finish. ( i think this is the same as the Izumi Eco? Im really not sure, Izumi naming of products is very inconsistent and i dont see the Eco name used anywhere in the UK).
The KMC X101 looks like a decent contender for the 710 crown, but that would set me back £30+.
Any opinions gratefully recieved
