Sorry, don't know how to make this thread more exciting than it is to tempt you in with your pearls of wisdom ... 🙄

So, as per title. What's the go to for decent shifting & durability. It's a SRAM Rival 2x11 drivetrain. Bike is my CX/Gravel bike, so needs to withstand some off road abuse. Looking to spend no more than £20, ideally a little less.

It's my first 11 sp set-up so don't know whether some brands are less cheese-like than others?

Righto. Cheers all. Generally get KMC chains for my 10sp bikes, so have gone for the KMC x11-93 at £15 on eBay.

I don't notice much difference between them TBH, they're all pretty good these days.

I usually get 105/SLX or Sram X1 - whatever's on offer really.

I run Ultegra grade Shimano chains, not snapped one yet since going 1x11 almost as soon as M800 was on general release.
