Everyone seems to have differing experiences with chains but my favorites - and ones I've found to be most silent - are the KMC K710SL and Devil 101 (which I'm currently using on all my bikes). Drivetrain noise also depends greatly on what cog and chainring you're using though.

Spring for the Devil. It's a little pricey but you will thank me.

Same here, I've had the item window open in my browser for a while.
This might be the Leader 722 TS of 2012.

When you had your kagero was there anything you didn't like about it? I'm only asking because coghouse ebay has em for $549 and i'm tempted to pick one up.

I liked everything about it but the saddle to bar drop was a bit much for me.

I'm apparently slower than I thought, but when did Scrod become a not-admin?

Painfully average.
I want to expand my tool set and equipment, can you recommend any must have tools? I was thinking about a repair stand and a torque wrench.

When a moderator tells you to refrain from posting in a thread (as Siu did in post #6168), stay gone.

I know a guy who can get you a good deal on one but the shipping cost is a *****.

Hey Scrod,
What should I do about the hot yoga teacher chick who turned me down for a date but keeps wanting to talk me up every time we run into each other?

assuming you partake in the consumption of sriracha:
do you know of any good ones that can be found in stores?
