I run a KMC Kool chain on 24/9, it's not light but it won't break (which is great!)

seen the minimalist last night, looks cool but dunno how long it would last!

Would the KHE Minimalist Chain fir my DK 4 pack? Standard cogs on it.

Been using the same Shadow Conspiracy half-link chain on my race bike since the Brits 2006, so coming up to 2 years now.  People keep telling me it's not the lightest chain (can't say I noticed it was heavy when fitting it though).

mine's been great! although i do understand i don't ride half as much as some peeps....but for £3 buy 2 and have one in your bag  :daumenhoch:

i think unless your running ver small gearing the kmc wont break, 25-9 puts alot of stress on a chain, but 33-12 gearing will be fine  :daumenhoch:
