Michael: perhaps the difference is how free of grit chain is. I stopped
using "oily" lube long ago, replacing it with paraffin, Pro Link, Purple
Extreme, and the Orange Seal lube. These aren't nearly as clean as Molten
Speed Wax (stupid name, great product), but they don't attract grit, and

I have never, ever been able to remove a Sram quick link by hand. In fact I
can hardly open them with pliers. I have never failed to open a connex
quick link by hand. So far I'm getting mixed reviews 0n the KMC, ranging
from the RBW "best ever" to the LBS, "somewhere between Sram & Connex."

the pliers-like took for the 10 speed SRAM masterlinks, but I was told that
SRAM deliberately changed the design with the 10 speed chains to make them

Michael,
We use SRAM and KMC 9 speed chains. Both shift well. Because I am frugal
I made my own chain tools: Took a pair of small scissors and Dremeled out
a radius on both blades of the scissors. Grab the chain with the 'tool',
squeeze the links with your fingers and the chain breaks. You
The KMC chains have worked fine for me. The Park chain tool is most helpful
at snapping the link in place or removing it.
Best,
