I do put reverse pressure to sometimes to slow down but I would assume that isn't that bad for the chain? I've really just been looking for a chain that will resist stretching for a good while.

I can get a k710 for a few dollars more than the z510hx. Is there any reason I should go with the 710 instead of the 510?

Is that the only thing I should look out for? I don't see a problem with using the master link and I don't plan on taking my chain off very much (I can clean it on the bike). Oh and it should come with a master link right?
