Thanks Patrick. Chain saw oil. I have some. When I do put something on this new
chain maybe I will try that first. And wipe it very well.
Only one ride on this KMC chain. It feels very nice. Shifts cleanly. I notice
no difference compared to the SRAM chains I've been using except this has that
Many thanks, Garth. I'll consider this purchase very carefully $10.16 per
chain -- not too shabby. I'm asking my brother if he wants to go halves.

Patrick, from what I have read about KMC chains online, in reviews and
such, is that they work as well and better than Sram chains. I too have
used nothing but Sram and before that Sedis, but KMC these days is a very
good if not better option.
Here's the links for the bulk chains, it appea
A recent thread on this list discussed the virtues of chain saw oil; one
virtue being the low cost. The thread discussed the dirtiness of chains so
lubed, with someone commenting that you can prevent the adherence of grit
if you wipe the chain very thoroughly after careful application.
I plan to l
These are 9 speed chains? If so, does anyone know if these KMC chains shift
and track as well as SRAM chains? I use the relatively cheap ~$20 SRAM 9 sp
model.
It has been a long time, but I seem to remember that KMC chains I used for
fixed were more noisy than SRAMs., but then these were probably

I must've misread it then. I see that telling me smallest cog on the
cassette in the largest chain ringprobably 70% of the time.

Only skipping in smallest cog makes me think it is a deraileur adjustment,
maybe they knocked it out of whack a bit on the install. Did you try
adjusting the tension back there? I dont know your level of expertise but
if you havent done this kind of thing before just remember to go slow and
make s
That would be the answer. Replacing a worn chain resulting in skipping should
always make you think "worn cassette". If no amount of adjusting dials it in,
it's time for a new cassette.
I didn't see the original thread here, but if you're using a master link, make
sure it's installed properly.
Maybe a stiff link in the new chain?
