from santa monica Date Reviewed: April 14, 2009 Strengths: light + strong + very intelligent design. the TiN coating on my SL version seems to help maintain them. great/reliable concise shifting even under full spazz power. after paying for the X9 SL chain - i can't help but spend more time looking after my drivetrain (which is a good thing!) they are as durable, if not more durable than SRAM PG990's. Weaknesses: TiN coating on the rollers appears to wear off in less than 8 miles, works extra great though in those 8 miles. TiN gold coating is abit blingy/tacky. chain might be easier to stretch than other lesser brands if you totally mess up your shifting quite often. the chains open SL design seems to collect more dirt than any other i've used, on occasion. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $55.00 Purchased At: online Similar Products Used: SRAM PG990 hollow pin, SRAM PG960, XTR M965 Bike Setup: S-Works, KMC X9 SL, Schmolke, Syntace, Marta Magnesium, Race King Supersonic, SLR Carbonio Flow, 4Ti, XTR, SRAM X.O
