wondered if using a 10 speed chain (the ones that are lighter like this one with a quick link would be alright?
It's functional as long as it fits the chainring and sprockets; beware that some are a full 3/32" wide and won't fit 9+ speed chains which are only 11/128" wide. Not sure why you'd want to use a more expensive chain which wears out quicker though.

Newer / higher end chains are actually better made than older 5-8 speed stuff. They last longer and could well be stronger.

I've not noticed this running 11 speed chain (SRAM PC-1130) on various 3/32nd chainrings and cogs.

Might sound a bit odd, but running fixed with a 3/32" chain for now, a classic 7 speed chain ; wondered if using a 10 speed chain (the ones that are lighter like this one with a quick link would be alright?
I am not doing any skids as I have a brake on, and not using it as a track bike either so I am not putting it through important constrain, but I still climb a bit with it. Anyone tried this?
