KMC chain

We mostly use SRAM chains on our own bikes, but also ride with KMC chains. They offer a good alternative for these reasons:

• Cost is usually lower for a similar quality level
• KMC often have lighter weight chains
• KMC chains are available in different finishes. i.e. for colour or rust-proof

KMC chains come with either 112 or 116 links, depending on the type, and come with a special link to close the chain.

For most single speed or hub gear bikes a 1/8th inch chain is required. All the other chains are 3/32nd inch internally, but the outside dimension is narrower for the chains intended for cassettes with more sprockets. A "10 speed" chain will work on a "9 speed" cassette, but it probably will not work the other way around.
