What chain?

Yeah could do, but love the fact that I can remove the chain to clean it without using a chain tool, can bung the chain in a bottle with degreaser and give it a shake. Am tempted to try one of the DID chains.

Love my DID, but as posted above currently noisy.

Is your DID still noisy? I'm looking into getting a new chain and can't make a decision. Someone make it for me!

Its still noisy, but then I havent ridden that bike for ages. Chainline looks good, but the chain seems to stick to the cog slightly (new 1/8" phil wood), might be were the noise is coming from. I fully expect the drivechain to quieten over time, but obviously cant confirm this yet. The chain is really well made, feels strong, and looks great though.

I like the look of this one (just to complicate things).
KMC D101 SL
Light and strong

Just get one.. :) I recommend a 1/8" if you have 1/8" chainring/cog, and 3/32" if thats what you roll..

If it's for looks get something silver or gold.. ;)

I'm trying to eliminate chains and there you go throwing another one in the mixer. Seriously...what are you trying to do to me?? :) Anyone else using the D101 SL?

No objections to the KMC 510 in this here thread. Think I might just give it a go. If it's shit I'll change it. But then our Lord Tynan says the 710 is pretty quiet too. Decisions, decisions.

I'm ruling out gold. I think it looks tacky. ducks

The D101 SL is probably no better than the far cheaper 510, its just lighter. I think it was the lightest 1/8" chain I found when I was looking around for chains. Not sure if its still true but the DID was the only all silver NJS approved chain when I bought mine, if that matters (which it doesnt).

And the HKK Vertex...

my HKK blue went fncking orange after all the salt the bastard council put down when it snowed for a day.
now got a KMC cool, whirs away nicely.

Is that the 710?

yeah, but not the posh one with the holes.

heading down towards blackfriars from bank there are two unipac chains lying on the side of the road

DON'T USE THEM

That's cool. I don't do posh anyway! Not at twice the price anyhoo.

@Murtle - the chain turning an orangey colour aside, was it quiet?

Get the DID. You know you want it! Mine is quite clicky right now but it only went on the bike on Monday. I also have a 3/32" cog on the back which could be contributing. One of the other Glasgow riders has a DID chain and it's silent.

funnily enough, yeah, dead quiet, in a very early in the morning or very late at night kind of way

wools:
What's your problem!?!?!?!

My sentiments exactly. I meant tacky on a bike. The only place for gold is around your neck!
