About this deal

Wax based lubricants accumulate less road grit than traditional oil based chain lubes, so there is much less wear of chain pins and inner plates, hence slower elongation rate. If you find an item at a lower price with another commercial internet retailer, you will receive it from us at the same price, provided the conditions listed in the link are met.

Enhanced Durability: With unique SP (stretch-proof) treatment, the durability has been effectively enhanced by reducing the attrition between inner plates and pin. As a result, chain life has been significantly prolonged. Well compared to sexy carbon handlebars and loud buzzing rear hubs, the bicycle chain is a rather an unglamorous component, and I don’t think it gets enough praise for the important jobs it undertakes. In most cases, you probably only pay attention to your chain when something has gone wrong, leaving you to curse your stupid chain that has ruined a ride and destroyed hundreds of dollars worth of rear wheel. Bad chain. Bad. Another characteristic of EPT: The very smooth surface gives chains excellent running qualities. Dirt buildup is minimized in the long term, which means that chain maintenance is significantly relieved.Finance is subject to application, financial circumstances and borrowing history.

The X stands for the ‘Double X Bridge Shaping’, which uses grooves on the external plates to assist guiding the chain as it passes up and down the cassette. I also have several sections dedicated to ranges by Pinnacle, Polygon& Carrera Bikes, including the popular Vengeance, Sulcata, Karkinos and other Carrera Mountain Bikes, as well as hybrid ranges such as the classic Subway, Crossfire and Parva models. I’m not going to lie. Testing a mountain bike chain is a relatively uneventful process. I peeled off the Deore XT chain I had originally fitted to my test bike, and replaced it with the shiny gold KMC chain. I’ve been riding the chain for 6 months, which has involved periods of time where I haven’t touched it at all (no cleaning, no lubricating, no nothing), and periods of time where I’ve experimented with dry lubes, wet lubes, wax lubes and degreasers.Although the X10SL Ti-Nitride might cost more than a comparable chain from SRAM or Shimano, it does offer benefits in durability and shifting. The gold coating doesn’t just look good, it also reduces the amount of dirt build up on the chains surface, making for less maintenance overall. No matter what type of bike product your buying, from the simple accessories through to the full setup of your custom built road bike, there are lots of important considerations that you should take into account, especially when you’re shopping online and unable to test the product first. This is especially true when you’re buying products like Chains. With a slim and lightweight design, this chain is compatible with all 10-speed derailleurs, offers a quiet ride and is one of the most durable on the market. DLC stands for 'Diamond Like Coating' which is a hard coating KMC applies to the chain to reduce abrasion and wear. The X11SL has other high-end chain features too: the inner and outer link plates are all hollow, as are the pins, meaning that it's light for a chain at 240g for 116 links.

KMC 11NR EPT Missing Link

How much different in performance is the KMC chain from its competitors? Well in regards to shifting, there isn’t a huge difference there. The main difference I noticed was how little degreasing the Titanium-Nitride coating required to stay clean, as it’s slippery surface seemed to be less susceptible to grease build up. The less you have to degrease your chain, the less of the internal grease you’ll strip away and therefore the quieter and smoother your chain will be. In my opinion, this is a very big advantage. Before using the X10-EL I thought the slotted inner and outer plates would accumulate more road grit and gunk but that has not been the case.

The SL abbreviates Super Light, which essentially refers to the cut out inner and outer plates, as well as the hollow pins. KMC also offer an Extra Light version (without the hollow pins) and a Light version (with only cut outs in the inner plates) That’s why you can see it was easy for us to give KMC X10SL 10 Speed Super Light Chain such a high overall score of 9.3 / 10. It seems to have the perfect combination of features, quality and price making it a great all-rounder.The gold finish of the (blingin’) x10sl is not only good looking but also has a titanium nitride coating, which is claimed to improve the wear. In use, the best thing about any chain is that you don’t notice it, and that’s exactly what I found with the KMC. It’s as crisp shifting and smooth running as the Campag C10 it replaced, and after a couple of months’ use it hasn’t stretched or stiffened and still looks relatively good – not as pristine as it was as new, but that’s to be expected.
