Hi all

Sorry if this seems dim but what is the difference between these two chains?

Ash

About £5.00 price wise,have a look at CRC for a bit of info.

I'd normally refer you to the SRAM website Ashley but the photos of the chains are wrong. The latest chains with three digit numbers have bulging side plates like Shimano chains. I use the 970 version (the pic on the website is the lousy old PC 59 :ç) ) and find the change is better than old generation SRAM chains. Durability seems about the same - the 970 I fitted last summer is about to go in the bin.

OK, what I am after is a replacement for my OEM chain fitted on a Scott scale with shimano drive. I would like light and durable but am confused between these two.

Thanks

this one and the photo is right unlike on the SRAM site. 990, 970 and 950 are the new ones.

Thanks John, so is the 990 the new 99 hollow? which one is the lightest?

Thanks for your help.

Ash

No hollow pin version of the 990 yet as far as I know so it will be heavier than a 99 hollow pin but change better.

"OK, what I am after is a replacement for my OEM chain fitted on a Scott scale with shimano drive."

Dura-Ace.

m@s right of course.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS THE PC99 Hollow pin
I had one snap two weeks ago and a friend who baught one a week or two after me (copy cat) went yesterday whilst he was doing the coast to coast not even 200 miles on the chain... absolute sh1te im going back to the PC99 solid pin never had a problem with that

OK, so it seems I that I have to buy Dura Ace or PC99 then. Anyone know which is the lightest?

Thanks for all so far.
Ash

Does it matter which is the lightest??

You could sweat the difference off in 5mins.

Good answer and your right but always searching for perfection.

Man's got to have a hobby!

Cheers ASH

SRAM!

Weight Weenies If you really must know!

I've been trying to get people to try the latest 970/990 chains on here for months now. The change is BETTER than the old range and they are reliable.

But Dura-Ace is still the best.

Of course

Seems I have uncovered a bit of a rift with you lot.

Thanks for all the advice.
