Overall very good. Better shifting than Wippperman I used previously. I ride a smallish frame and so front derailleur rub can be an issue. This chain seems to be slightly narrower largely eliminating that problem.
One curious problem with wear. I regularly check the chain with a Spin Doctor wear indicator and the chain has looked fine for some time. Suddenly there was more than
.75% wear. I realized that this only was true if measuring across the missing link. Thinking the link had worn I replaced it with a new missing link. Same result. Replaced chain and link- okay. Wear apparently occurs at links attached to missing link resulting in a chain stretched but only in that region. Sorry - don't know mileage. Been depending on chain checker. Other than at link seems to last well.

This is a low cost, durable chain. It is also fairly easy to remove for thorough cleaning. It is great for the long Pacific Northwest winters where nearly every ride results in a wet and gritty bike.

Needed a chain replacement for my winterspring training bike, but did not want to spend a small kingdom for it. Found this chain to be well build for the money and shifts nicely on my Campy bike. Cleans up well and looks great on my black bike. So far I like better than a Campy or Shimano chain, I am using a Shimano cassette and campy shifters marry very nicely with that combination.

I ride year round in the snow, dirt, gravel, and desert. These chains hold up better than Shimano and Sram and shift well. Comes with masterlink also. They shift well on my MTB 3x10 and gravel mullet with wolftooth tanpan 2x10.

I have used these chains for myself for some time now. A friend asked me to change his normal brand out and I had him feel the difference. It truly is amazing how smooth they are especially with the new 12 speeds.

First time using KMC chain, was skeptical about making the switch from SRAM Red. I have used for a couple on months now and couldnt be more pleased. Installation was super easy, shifting is just as smooth as with SRAM and the two tone look is aesthetically pleasing. Even more attractive was the price point.

I've used the KMC X10.93 off and on for several years and am impressed on how it compares to Ultegra and Dura-ace chains. While I feel that the Shimano chains shift a little better, the KMC chain works very well, is durable, quiet and easy to install/remove with the quick link.

I have used KMC exclusively for several years on my Campy equipped bike. These chains shift well and last for thousands of miles if maintained. They are much cheaper than Campy chins and the ability to connect the chain with the provided link. It is much simpler that what the Campy chain requires and you do not need a special chain tool to put on a new chain.

Chains wear better than Shimano chains and shift well. I'm using them on my gravel + bike and the MTB. They hold up well with desert debris.

Switched to this brand of chain 3 years ago when I wasn't getting the chain life I thought I should form other major brands... to remain nameless. Raced on one chain all cyclocross season last year (15 races and training) and will probably not need to change it till the after preseason training this year. Heck I may even get a few of the dry races early in the season before changing it.

Good chain at a good price, shifting seems as good as ultegra and the quick link is a plus.
