Yesterday 20 miles into a 30 mile ride on the downside of my biggest hill, my chain broke while I was spinning somewhere in the vicinity of 30mph. This was followed immediately by a 60 foot skid which would have been a lot longer without judicious use of the front brake. It was a SRAM PC-1, and it was in good condition, I just lubed and adjusted it a few days ago, and I didn't notice any tight spots. I never broke the chain, it was attached with an SRAM masterlink which is still intact. when I gathered up the pieces, there was not enough left to put it back on it was about 3" too short. Back towards the beginning of the skidmark I found a few random side plates.

Needless to say, my confidence in that chain is gone, and I'm thinking I want something better to replace it. Does anyone have a recommendation of a good durable 1/8" chain.
