I haven’t used on of these, but I’m generally suspicious of anti-friction coatings on chains and chainrings. Campagnolo started adding a coating to their chainrings a few years ago, and it was widely reported to wear off quickly.
I properly lubricated chain should be able to resist corrosion well enough. They all wear out at about the same rate, in my experience. --Eric N campyonly...@me.com www.CampyOnly.com Campyonlyguy.blogspot.com @Campyonlyguy > On Mar 27, 2015, at 7:29 AM, Jim Bronson <jim.bron...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Anyone tried one of these? > > http://kmcchain.us/chain/x9ept-eco-proteq/ > <http://kmcchain.us/chain/x9ept-eco-proteq/> > > Claims to withstand 650 hours of salt spray.
