I just replaced a cheap Sachs chain on one of my Riv fixies with an
ever cheaper KMC chain that cost me, what, $4.95 at a LBS? It's a 3/32
chain. The ring and cogs are very little worn. The new chain makes a
considerable racket.
I've done heard that KMC chains are noisy: is this so?
Does mo'
I use KMC chains more often than not. The fancier ones labeled for 8 and 9
speed are quiet and long lasting. I have tried those cheapies and they are
noisy and don't last as long.

Thanks, Ryan -- I used this chain because it was in one of my boxes.
I'll let it wear out and keep in mind the better KMCs.
I don't mind if the cheapie wears quickly; just don't want it to do
bad to my Ring and Cog.
BTW: Bro-in-law says he'll help me install clutch kit when he visits
in July;
I too have had good experiences with high-end KMC chains, mostly 10-speed.
