Which Chain? (Chains / Size / Width / Wear)

i just came across this chart from KMC about their range of chains. good to see them all lined up in comparison. i also went through the chain finder but my preference, the Z510HX, is what they recommend for track and fixed gear use, so no surprises there.

still, this could be of help for someone, so i post it up.

btw, anyone tried the KMC D101 track chain? seems a little bit less strong but the bushings design should prolong their life. but then a Z510HX costs 1/3 of it. so my guess is, that it doesn't outlast it 3 times.

I've had a D101 on my bike for nearly a year, but do pretty low milage. It's an absolute bitch to shorten, I needed to take a mini grinder to it before I could use a chain breaker. This was after breaking a cheapish pin remover on it. Both ends of the pin are flattened out (unless I'm missing something) so it's very unlikely to break in use. The plates, pins and the master link are very nicely made, and most important of all, it looks quite pretty.
