Hello STWers,
I been a voyeur on STW for a while now but never actually posted, you lot seem (mostly) like a knowledgeable bunch, so thought I'd put my question out there...
Does anyone have any good recommendations for a chain with better lateral strength/durability than a PC991 or XT for use on a 1x9 setup?
I have the chainline as good as possible but it's clearly always going to stress the chain when in the 9 or 32 sprocket... Any suggestions very welcome.
Thanks
Anyone got any suggestions?
Please 🙂
more durable than sram?? hahahahah
hahahahah easy!!! XTR.........
end of topic
nothing special at all on mine - just a normal mid price range SRAM chain which seems fine.
and get a XTR cassette too 😀
[s]Thanks bighendo, but is an XTR chain actually any stronger laterally than the XT one I've got?
I thought they were just lighter for the same strength...
I'm not actually bothered about weight, would just like something that lasts a bit longer...
Edit: bloody iPhone typing fail!
I'm just using a PC970 chain with SRAM 97..something 11-34 cassette.
Got a 34 ring on the front with a superstar chain guide - its all working really well at the moment, no dropped chain or much chain strain.
