I installed the new hollow pin chain about 2 weeks ago.. went for a ride on Sunday, got the chain sucked a bit around the bottom bracket and SNAP!!
Is this just pure bad luck, or have others found the hollow pin to be weaker too? I have used the PC99 (NON hollow pin) and was very happy with it.
Also, what are other people's opinions of the PC99 vs XTR chain? Someone told me that the SRAM chain is WAY better and I have stuck to that.. I am also looking at a second wheel set for training, this will obviously have a second cassette on it, therefore I will need to change the chain each time too... correct? Otherwise they won't wear evenly.
Therefore the SRAM Power Link seems the obvious solution... or does someone else have a better idea?
Thanks
