Help should i go with a 7901 chain or a kmc x10sl chain?
HELLO FELLOW BF MEMBERS!
i am in need of some serious advise here!
i have a 7800/7900 groupset with a new 7900 cassette
and i was recommended by a friend to go with a new shimano 7901 directional chain, but another said kmc x10sl chain are indestructible and carry the cross-x etching that allows you to shift more crisper, and you can flip the chain!
can anyone tell me from experience which they prefer?
or any other chain that they recommend?
thanks!

Used both. Have zero preference as far as shifting performance goes. However, for no apparent reason, my kmc chains were wearing much faster than my dura ace chains. Now I use the dura ace chain with a wipperman connex link.
