Agreed, my first thoughts were dang that chain needs to be cleaned! Probably looks pretty slick in person, I'd assume it'd be hard to make look good in a picture.

Have been using the gold X10SL on my gold accented bike for a while. Looked great! Have no experience with DA, but compared to standard Record chains it's not so much of an upgrade. Have gone back to those now, since i can get them a lot cheaper than KMCs. Weight is the same.

You have to see it in person. It's undeniably black.
Because I always keep my chains clean, I found it sticking
out too much against the rest of the bike's color scheme.
I can keep this one clean and it still stays black & toned down.Fourthbook wrote:I have both the X10SL (gold) and the X10SL-DLC (black) and am very pleased with them: look great, function just as good as DA and weigh a good bit less on my scale than the DA I replaced.

Agreed.
I'm super pleased with it.
I managed to get my Black DLC for $83./shipped.
It's cool how one upgrade could make such a big difference.
