I use to swear by Sram chains but my last one PC991 snapped twice in different places and not at the joining link 🙁
Whats a Shimano equivalent XT?

Always use [url= http://www.merlincycles.co.uk/bicycle-chains/shimano-hg93-xt-9-speed-bike-chain.html ]HG93[/url]....which is XT....and a SRAM Powerlink. No problems.

IME pc991 chains are made of cheese , I had snappage problems with the last 2 I bought , I've switched to pc 951's now they do the job just as well.Maybe I ought to stop mashing big gears?

KMC here too - too many Shimano chains snapped on mates' bikes and SRAM is costly in here (KMC is free for me 🙂 ).
