I think I had KMC chains in the past, I really don't remember. However, last few years I have used Shimano HG chains for my bikes.

I just put a new 8 speed KMC chain to replace a worn out Shimano chain with about 4,000 miles on it. The quick on/off link is encouraging, but also worrying. Looking forward to the ease of taking the chain off for cleaning. But a bit worry for the reliability on the link and accidental disassembly/breakage during a ride.

What's your experience of the KMC chains, as far as reliability, longevity and performance (shifting)? Thanks in advance! Double O
