getting a nice new slx double for crimbo so buying an xt cassette and a chain.

xt chain as good as any (for the price) anyone using one?

dont go to orange to quick if left overnight wet?

Avoid Shimano because of the rivet joint….not field or cleaning friendly but very strong. You can use KMC or SRAM links but it is an extra item to buy.

I would get a KMC as they are very strong and have a re-usable quicklink, including 10-sp.

SRAM are OK these days but their 10-sp is a once-only quicklink.
