Sick of chains snapping. Seem to go through them at a rate of about 1 every 200 miles at the moment. Need a cheap replacement for my 8spd driveline.

I've always usually bought TaYa chains and found they're pretty good value for money.

KMC, superb value, excellent shifting & last well on my bikes.

KMC X8.93. The 9-speed version is almost certainly the bets value chain around. Do you shift under load?

Snapping chains tend to be down to one of a few causes.

1. badly maintained chain/drivetrain (indexing)
2. crap rider technique
3. a crap chain (very rare though)
