Over the years we've used chains by all chain-makers, and recently have settled on—not locked in—to chains made by Taiwan's best chain-maker, KMC. We've used nothing else since at least Summer of '16, and nary a problem. They seem perfect. Both sizes (7/8sp and 9sp) come with the easiest to use quick links we've ever wrestled with.
116 links

The KMC quick links we sell are reusable, not one-time-use like most others from different chain makers.
