I'm just having a scout round for a 10 speed chain and saw [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=56343 ]These[/url] on CRC. I'm certainly not convinced about the magical self lubricating properties but has anyone actually tried them - what are they like as a MTB chain?

got a 9 speed version. Not a quiet as a KMC X9, but cheap and better than the equivalent priced SRAM one. Seems to be waring ok. Just make sure you put the link up the correct way, it's slightly curved, so needs to curve around the sprockets, get it wrong and it'll jump.

I miss Rohloff chains. pricy but would last ages.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm looking at one of these rather than an X10 actually so interesting comparison...
