Recommendation for a 122+ link high quality 9 speed chain

[kingpin75s]

Can anyone provide a recommendation and/or source for any available high quality 9 speed chains that come in 122 links or more.

Have a couple of long stay Riv projects I am working on and prefer not to have to extend a standard length chain.

I think finding a ‘high quality’ 9s chain with 122 links is going to be tough. I’d say 2 chains, cut them at about 62 links or so then 2 snap links.

For right below..a 10s chain 'might' work on an otherwise 9s drivetrain but really doubt an 11s one will, particularly those 'systems' that don't 'over shift', like shimano.

10 or 11 speed chains should work fine on your 9 speed drivetrain, and are easier to source in 122+ links.

KMC 9 speed ebike chain, only 25g heavier than their sl chain and comes in 136 links:

Thanks all.

These actually look like pretty good quality and per link weight, which is not really an issue here, is pretty standard regardless.

Comes in Silver or a Grey with an EcoProteQ version. Will give them both a try as I have both Silver and Black themed Riv's in the works.

Pretty sure Riv keeps a spool of chain for these frames. You might ask them if they could cut you a long one.
