Great chain

This chain worked great with my 10 speed set up, snap together and you're ready to go! Nice and easy, price is right also!

Thank you for your feedback.

Very Smooth!

Thought I'd try this chain with a 10 speed Campy Chorus drivetrain. I've not been happy with my last two Campy Veloce chains. The Record chains, on the other hand, have been great, but pricey.

This chain runs smoother and shifts much more cleanly than the Veloce. I would say it is on a par with the Record, but for 13 the price. The only thing yet to be determined is how long this KMC chain lasts.

Thank you for your feedback.

Very happy

A very good quality chain. Extra bonus that it works well and is compatible with Campy set ups. Love that you don't need to sell the farm for expensive Campy chain and tooling to assemble. Have now used on several of my bikes and the team that I manage.

Thank you for your feedback.

Like this product.

Purchased for bike build using an old 10-speed Shimano road group. Like the missing link feature. Initial impression after a few rides is that it works well.

Thank you for your feedback.

Shifts well, quiet, seems durable

I've used SRAM and Shimano chains for my 10-speed setup. They both work well. The KMC I find to be a little quieter and less finicky. It also looks and feels stronger to me, although I have no data to back that up. Making that conclusion based on how flexy the chains feel from side to side. The KMC feels stiffer to me. I've never tried Wippermann Chains but I'd like to. At the price though, the KMC's are my preference for road or MTB use.

Thank you for your feedback.

good alternative to shimano, quick link

Good alternative to shimano with the quick link. It seems a bit noiser than the shimano chains but may be I need to break it in.

Thank you for your feedback.

KMC chain

I'm down KMC. The chains are high quality, easy to install with the quick link, and durable. I degrease the chain first using an eco-friendly citrus degreaser. Then after sizing it using the largest cog smallest ring method I install the chain. Next comes a fastidious lubrication using ProGold ProLink which I lightly wipe (mainly to prevent dripping) and let sit for several hours before thoroughly wiping.

KMC chains serve me well in this way and this one is no exception. I put it on my commuter bike and I like the black silver pattern.

Thank you for your feedback.

Does the job

Excellent value compared to other chains. The reusable link is a big plus.

Great replacement for Campy 10 Sp Chain

Shifts as well as the Campy Chorus 10 speed chain, but doesn't require the special and expensive Campy or Park chain tool to install. Quite, and it shifts well. Durability is questionable through (the earlier version KMC X10 chain had to be replaced after 1500 miles-.551300 miles of wet PNW winter riding).

Thank you for your feedback.

HOPING THIS WILL REPLACE THE NEED FOR CAMPY CHAINS

For years I've used Campy chains on my bikes since they have Record Veloce FSA components . Had good success with them until the last chain that broke twice . Never had one break before . Getting too light ? Now Campy has a new pin system that according to their instructions requires their expense chain tool. So instead of replacing my chain myself I took it to my mechanic to be safe . With this KMC chain I was able to replace it quickly myself and that quick link really makes it a snap . No more pins. The first ride of 73 miles went great with really nice precise shifting and very quiet . I feel I've found a winner.

I've used Shimano and SRAM chains on my wife's bike but intend on switching to KMC . No problems with either brand but I'll give KMC a good test.

Also the KMC side plates look a bit stronger than the Campy chains .

Thank you for your feedback.

Hasn't let me down yet

This was the chain that originally came with my bike. Always performed well so when it came time to change I got another one. Have gone through about 5 of them now and have never had issues whether summer or winter, sunshine or snow, so don't see the need to spend extra on a more expensive brand.

Thank you for your feedback.

I have always had good service with KMC chains

I put this on my road bike when I bought a smart trainer at the first of the year. The old chain was worn and needed to be replaced because of excessive noise and shifting problems.

Good durable product

The KMC 10-Speed Chain was a good choice for a replacement of a well-worn Shimano chain. Replaced a cassette at the same time and the mechanics work well together.

Great chain for the money.

No reason to spend [$] on a chain. This chain performs better than a Sram 1090r and wears longer. Strong and reliable. You can't go wrong for the money.
