Looking for a new chain for the track bike. I always use KMC on my other bikes and wondered if their track chains are any good?
Budget up to £25 (ish).
Cheers.

HKK Vertex would be just outside of that budget ($40-$50USD) but it's an amazing chain for the price. I rode around brakeless in Seattle for the better part of a year on one and it never seemed to get stretched out. Ditch the shitty masterlink if you do get one though.

What @dicki said

If its good enough for tester then you've a safe bet

For the record I normally use KMC 510, £9.99 and never had any issues, great on the commuter bike as don't have to clean, just replace

SRAM PC7X has been excellent for me. Easy to find.

Kmc 510 is pretty good. DID are excellent but cost more.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
