Shimano, Wipperman, KMC chains all last considerably longer in my experience. Earlier this season when I was trying to run the SRAM chains we were on average getting 2 hours out of them before failure.
I have been hearing from mroe than a few sources now that there has been a bad run of chains, so maybe try getting a chain from a different shop. I use Sram chains for DH, and I have never broken a chain.
im 230lbs, and the times ive broken them have been on long hard hillclimbs. it did not happen while i was shifting, i was in my easiest gear
ive been running the cheaper end sram chains. i like them for the powerlink. just wondering if theres a difference between the chain strengths with the ones that dont have the hollowpins
pricepoint has these on sale:
Sram PC 951, Sram PC 971, Sram PC 991
what is the difference? pp nor sram says anything about them. is the more expensive one lighter, therefor maybe weaker?
