The consensus is that Shimano chains are better than sram. As you’ll hear more about broken Sram chains than you will about Shimano.
Not here you wont!
What a load of tosh[/i](it is a sunday) 😉 . I’ve been running SRAM chains for years. They’re simple to fit, bullet proof, you can take them off with your bare hads to clean etc, and represent good value. I’ve had no problems on the geared bike or s/s. And I ‘tested’ the durability of a Powerlink by running it on 5 or 6 repacement chains on the s/s which sees lots of winter mud.
Shi*mano have failed me on three occaisions, and even a female riding partner who is quite err…. steady, has has Shimano chain split side plates. And don’t even mention the stupid pin thing.
My experiences match the OP. Time for a change!
