Default KMC X10 chain

Hi All,

Just letting everyone know that in my experience with juggling chains
around lately, I have found the KMC X10SL chain to shift better than
an Ultegra 6600 chain.

I tried both brand new today, prepped and lubed the same way, and the
KMC was much more crisp.

I think it is because the KMC is floppier side to side. Holding it out
sideways, it had noticably more droop. I didn't take any pics because
my hands were dirty.

Performance Bike has been selling KMC DX10SC chains as their house
brand for $20 to $25 and they're fantastic. Better shifting than the
Wipperman 10S0 and Veloce Ultra-Narrow I'd paid nearly twice as much
for.

Good chains, those KMCs.
