Was waited for someone to say this. Have never forgiven my then LBS for lobbing mine in the bin when I bought a new frame and had the bits moved across.

Found a nos one for my Vit T

Having got a measly 500 miles out of the SRAM PG 950 chain that came fitted to one of my bikes I had a look around the web for something longer lasting and came across this article: http://www.cantitoeroad.com/chains.

The test is conducted by Wipperman the manufacturer of Connex chains, but provided they haven't outright lied it looks to be a fair test. However, one thing the tests don't cover is the price, so I decided to find out and using Google shopping to find the best prices for the chains here's what I came up with:



I have been using Campagnolo Record 9 speed chains ever since I first came across this article a couple of years ago and they easily outlast the SRAM and Shimano chains I've used in the past. Two of them I have, have done well over the paultry 500 miles I got out of the SRAM chain and according to my chain wear checker tool are nowhere near 0.75% wear yet.

I simply use the power of my own smugness.
