Tried a DLC version and a pin popped open randomly in the middle of nowhere and I was too dumb to have a chain tool with me.
Front shifting with Praxis rings was not great, chain kept wanting to fall off to the inside, despite having a K Edge type chain guard.
Happily back on Campy chains and am too annoyed to try KMC again.

Interesting. My KMC/105 bike shifts at least as smooth as my Athena bike with campy chain. Interestingly I swapped the rear cogs for ultegra and they seem to be a little smoother than the 105. I also have the KMC on praxis rings and never once had so much as a hiccup.
