I dunno. I really don't have any reason to change from SRAM. The only chains I've had negative experiences with were Shimano. Does that Rohloff chain have a powerlink like SRAM does? That should be a big deciding factor for you. Being able to quickly remove your chain for repairs or cleaning is crucial. I also suggest you pick up a chain tool and learn to use it my friend!! You wouldn't have had to walk out! I'm surprised none of those 20 people you were with have one.. I've ALWAYS got one!
