Why is your guys consensus on the best available 1/8" chain? I actually just snapped my Sram PC-1 that was only about a 4 months old. It blew apart pulling away from a stop light and i ended up eating it pretty good. luckily all i need to replace is a handlebar and chain. I want something that won't snap.

I agree that the low end KMC's are marginal. But I've got nothing but good to say about their 710 stainless chain. Mid-priced at around $25. 2000 miles so far on a Dura Ace 3/32" cog, with minimal stretch, and quiet as a tomb.

^^ what he said ^^. They're not cheap, but they are the standard to which other track chains are compared
