I'm a big guy and a masher, but I've broken a lot of chains -- maybe 8 or 9
times in the last several years. Almost all of the broken chains were SRAM
chains -- switched all those bikes to KMC and nothing since then. The one
exception is a Campy 10 speed chain I snapped going downhill, weirdly.
I'll be interested to hear if chains you use for ss last fewer miles than
your chains on derailleur bikes. I get only 2K miles; stretching from all
that high torque hill climbing? (Visions of chain elongating like rubber
bands under tremendous torque.)

Which model are you using? I'm just using the basic KMC K9. I have also

Zach, I have owned three XD2 cranks and two of them needed 1-2 mm spacers

Oh yea, if you put a dab of grease on the crank at each hole it will help
