Afternoon all, in an attempt to take my mind off things I've been fettling the bike for when things return to normal (or as normal as they'll be).

I've noticed the chain could do with replacing, so as I've been relatively unimpressed with SRAM chain longevity thought I'd give KMC a go. Might be a daft question, but would an 11spd KMC chain play nicely with a SRAM cassette/drivetrain?

yes it will play very nicely indeed.... not so for 12 speed in my experience, but that's not what you asked!

The weak link here is always going to be the Apex part sadly (I have it too)

Thanks chaps, much appreciated.

I've always found it alright to be honest, never needed much adjustment, shifts OK.

A related question - I have a Parktool chain wear gauge. The 0.5 wear side slots between the rollers if I push it in - if the chain is worn, should it fit into the chain with minimal resistance?
