    In the market for a new chain.
    Very tempted by the Mavic as I have used them before as was happy with it.But came across the the FSA Team Issue Chain highly discounted in Slane cycles but cant find any reviews.
    KMC come highly regarded but the FSA at €30 !! Am tempted to try it.
    ANyone ever use one?

    KMC10-SL. Look on ebay and you find them from €30 from Taiwan. Only 10 speed chain with proper opening link. 260grams

    However, I've no experience with 10sp group sets

    The Mavic seems to have dissappeared from CRC (who seemed to have bought a job lot and got stuck with them).
    Seem tough enough to get.
    WRT the KMC from Taiwan kinda wanna get it delivered a day or two after I order hence going to Slane.

    I also use the X10SL and I find it excellent.

    Mel and I have only been using the KMC 10SL (also KCNC 10SL - relabeled) for the last 4 years on road and 0ff-road - love them. Stretch a bit quicker than a durace one but no issues and I love the quick link.
