Hollow pin chains?
 
Hello all,
I need to get a cassette and chain for my hardtail. I've been checking out EBay and keep seeing SRAM PG-990's with 991 Hollow Pin chains for $110 and I've been wondering if this would be a good setup for me. I worry that about the durability of the chain. Are the pins prone to crushing and allowing the chain to stretch? What do you think of that setup?

Thanks,
Mike

TBH it's only really worth the extra cash if you're bothered about saving weight, otherwise just go for a standard sram chain.

Chain AND CASSETTE for $110.

I thought that sounded a bit steep until I clicked the link

Two years on my road bike, hollow are the pins, no problem.
