I've broken two SRAM chains over the past ten years and won't be buying anymore thank you. They might be fine components for most people, but both their PC850 and PC870 chains have failed me and in 25 years of using various Shimano chains I never had one chain break as these two did. However, I began replacing all of my chains with KMCs a couple of years ago because a lot of more seasoned riders had highly recommended them and they appeared to be very high quality, and I have not experienced any issues with them at all. I also find them to be pretty quiet compared to the Shimano chains.

I too would recommend the KMC K810-SL because not only is it has proven to be a very durable chain designed specifically for SS, but is probably the lightest chain you will find for a SS/FG running 3/32". I know a lot of track riders use it, as well as a lot of freestylers, and I don't think anyone puts more stress on a chain than those two groups of rider.....
