So I've used the KMC X10SL chain for quite a long time on my sram red train. Specifically the Gold variation.

But I stumbled across this kcnc chain in gold.

But fakewheel has it with a diff name and weight.

It seems they need the same tool to remove the quick link, they look surprisingly similar.
They look very similar to each other and the KCNC seems to weigh 15 grams less. Not generally a weight weenie thing, but I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the KCNC chain. Or at leads has any info on it.

I have a chance to buy the KCNC. For a fee bucks but I don't want to damage my sram drivetrain or throw away my cash.

Thanks in advance.

Don't know about the KCNC, but I would buy the KMC off ebay for $38 all day every day first.

I usually buy the kmc from us sellers for 45. Kinda impossible price to beat. But just was wanting to try something new....

Why "fakewheel"? They seem genuine and awesome to me. What am I missing?
