For a 10 speed XT 3 x 10?

I personally favour SRAM on my 9 speed but have little experience of what's good on 10 speed.

I think the e bay KMC 10SL (gold) off e bay are a great chain and at £26 ( does take 10 days to arrive) is a great chain at cheap money

Wow, is it me or have chains suddenly become very expensive?

Got a normal KMC X10 (the 93 model) the other week for around £19. Not bothered about a chain being super light.

Big fan of KMC's light and superlight offerings

Although the weight saving doesn't seem that significant on paper it makes a difference when the whole thing is going round and round the drivetrain all the time

Yeah, X9-93 for me as well. Though I got some cheap 105 chains from CRC a while back and they seem decent too.

(I dabbled with super-light chains and they're fab, til you get a bad dose of chainsuck and the plates bend... I spent a meditative 20 minutes in the garage straightening out about 10 bent links in an X9SL once, after it spat the dummy at a slightly muddy 10UTB)
