Can someone recommend a replacement? There are lots or the SRAM 10-Spd chains, and I don't know what model is on the bike. I don't mind spending a little for a quality chain.
Note, that although you can remove the 10 speed master link on SRAM chains (called Power Lock), SRAM says you cannot reuse the link. However, many have done so and reported no problems. (The SRAM 8- and 9- speed master links were reusable, called Power Link).
I've used SRAM exclusively on my road and mountain bikes for the past 12 years. However, I installed a KMC X10 SL chain on my road bike about 1,000 miles ago and all is very good; it plays well with the Shimano chainrings and SRAM cassette. And, the KMC master link is reusable.
