The one that I see out of.

This is on a Bianchi Pista.

Will hold up, previous chain was the same chain.

So then why did you ask?

Wanted a laugh. ;)

:lol: You bastard!

I do find it weird that the box says BMX though. I wasn't saying it would fail...just pointing out what that particular chain is "intended use" is according to KMC's site.

I find the mix of fonts on the box weird.

Yeah KMC needs change their packaging.

If it got hard plates and hard pins (and proper rivetting), any chain's a good game. Geared chains got some lateral flex, but it don't matter with proper tension and good chainline. I wonder why suddenly you all are so excessively negative. (But X9SL seem to have kinda wildly mixed reviews ... so not really a homerunner, tho.)

But that being said, X9SL is kinda too expensive, isn't it?

It was pricey.

Udate chain is fine on the pista, but snapped another chain on the mtb. This time a sram chain that I had just put on, resulting in me jamming my right knee into the back of the stem.

You sound like you snap your chain periodically. ... Sounds like I ought to stick with a track or BMX chain. Kinda silly to pay more for more worries when I can pay less and worry less. Sorry Danni.

Chains used on MTBs experience a much higher tension force than road or track, due to the use of much smaller inner chainrings. The only chain failure that I've ever experienced was when climbing a steep trail on my MTB in the small chainring. Still, I only use 1/8 chains on all my FG bikes, rather than 3/32 chains meant for geared bikes, since 1/8 chains are pretty much idiot-proof and I don't have to worry about sprocket thickness.

Knocks on wood, I have had great luck with 3/32 chains on my fixed gear.

The mtb is geared at the moment as a 1x8. Picked up a sram from where I work on the way home from my first ride because my shimano had a twisted link and the sram was the only 8 speed chain left in stock.

It will fail harder than nicholas cage's new movie

Little late to the party

"BMX" explains it all.
