I like using the Kool Chains from Halfords, they're very heavy duty looking and I've never had one snap on me. At my weight and power that's probably the most important thing really.

Have a heaveir chain and take a dump before you race.  :daumenhoch:

 If it's for an old school ride,check out the DID chains..The Izumi are great too,but very hard to find in 3/32...

Never go with those shimano pieces of junk, a 6 year old could snap one of those.

Just built up a bike and used a KMC Ultra Light, very good chain. Even managed to link it back together with one of its own pins, not one of those stupid joining fittings. Top marks KMC.
