I just replaced the chain on my bike. It has FSA Gossomer triple front with 11-32 Ultegra derailleurs. The stock chain was Shimano CN6600. What I learned from doing some research is that some of the newer Shimano chains, like the 6701 for example, are designed to work with compact double chainrings and are not recommended for triples. I replaced the old one with the CN6600. Of the chain reviews I read about it looked like the strongest chains were the Wipperman follosed closely by Shimano and others, with SRAM last. The shifting on my Ultergra derailleurs, IRD rear cassette, and FSA chainrings is excellent.
