Up to now been using KMCX10 93 because I'd heard the SRAM chain uses a different connector to Powerlink that's more of a pain to use ? What's the 1071 like against the 93 ?

I was using sram 1091 but have gone back to 1051 now, for some reason I kept snapping the 1091, since ive gone back the issues have stopped. I actually have a kmc one to try next so can't comment on a comparison of those two yet

I love my KMC x10's. I've got one of the plain grey ones and two of the bright with extra cutouts on the plates between my 10sp bikes.

I've used the SRAM chains and they were ok, but the black lock link was a PITA and they were expensive at the time. The KMCs have been trouble free. I still run a SRAM 971 on my cross bike.

Lots of threads on stw about how a particular boutique NW chainring doesn't like KMC chains and people claiming they snap as soon as you look at them. Not in my experience.
