I don't use the Sram chain (although I have one on there now as it's a new bike), preferring to use a stockpile of 7800 chains I got a while back. I have a Sram chain on my Rival bike that's in a trainer right now, shift it up and down under load in the trainer sprinting cadence, no sweat.

Stuff breaks. Nothing's forever. But I'd be pissed if it happened to me. I'm pretty picky about chains. If they get even a little stretched, off they come.
