All of my chains have always been mid-to-high-end Shimanos (HG-73 & HG-93) but I bought a SRAM chain (PC-9**) on the advice of an LBS employee. It worked great and shifted very well for four months and then snapped while climbing some stairs at Butler U. Undaunted, I repaired the chain after a 3 mile walk, and it work just fine for about two more months, until it snapped again going over a 2 ft log on a local trail. That was it. It became a set on chain whips and hasn't given me any problems since.....
