I have always got great results with KMC 11SL chains and lately its hard to find.
I ordered some PYC SL (looks like the KMC11sl) butwhen i received it its package SwishTi. I am not sure if this is a knock off or fake chains (many lately from KMC and shimano) and i dont want to be the one that has a broken chain on the middle of the ride.
What chains are you guys riding that does not cost arm and leg ?

12 sp shimano XT is a great option.

In case you're wondering, my PYC chain packaging looks like this. Image

Yes My gold one looks the same
BUT my Silver ones says SwishTi and box is black.. The Links are stamped PYC and the box has nothing that says PYC.

$30 or less
There is an abundance of KMC X11 93 chain.
And SRAM basic chain PC 1130 or X1.

I buy a few because these darn parts are so hard to find.

You said reliable right... these chains don't have holes on the plate or in the pins.
