Can anybody tell me the difference between XT and Ultegra 10spd chains? I was under the impression that there was none for 9 speed, but some sites says "MTB Specific" for XT. Basically, I can get the XT for cheaper, but I'll likely have an Ultegra cassette....

I have an Ultegra chain in my drawer. Any Shimano 10 speed road chain will suffice. Like they said, the mtb stuff is directional. Mickey is wrong. It's not silly, it's retarded.
