Review on High-Performance KMC X11SL 11-Speed Bike Chain with 116 Links by Sean Patel

I never knew much about KMC chains until I recently bought a gravel bike equipped with them. However, there is actually not much to say about a bicycle chain. I have always used SRAM chains because they are easy to remove from the bike for a thorough cleaning. Just separate the missing missing link and it's off the bike. KMC works the same way. one, two, three and that's it. However, I'm not entirely sure about one thing. It is said that every time you assemble a chain, you must use a new missing link. I haven't done this with SRAM and I don't understand why KMC is any different. However, since they say so, I will do it. I don't want to be in the middle of nowhere when the chain breaks.
