Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Which chain to use?
I was using the KMC DX 10Sc chain with my Shimano cassette and FS crank. I now have the same cassette but a SRAM force crank. Should I stick with the KMC or go with another chain for better performance?

I have a rival crank with the same chain as you. It is quiet and I have no complaints. I would only get a new chain the new crank has different size chainrings on it.

If I were you, I'd go with a new chain, but not another one. The KMC DX10 is one of the best and definitely the best bang-for-the-buck.

Why? These types of answers are worthless.
