XTR Drivetrain with KMC Chain

Hi, I have an XTR 42/32/24 crank, XTR front and rear derailleur, XT 11/36 cassette and XT HG95 chain. I want to chance my chain to a KMC X10 SL, will it work with my current setup? beacuse shimano said I should only use dynasys chains.

Thanks

It will be fine. You can use Sram KMC whatever as long as it is a 10 speed chain. Shimano just wants that money.

I use only KMC chains. In fact my brand new Trek Top Fuel 8 came factory with a KMC.

Get several, at once If You have to buy online, so you dont keep it on too long and wear out the cassette too soon.

I love KMC and also SRAM. You can use a quick link with them too. Shimano doesn't like you to use one with theirs.
