Doesn't seem to be a lot on chains, the weakest link (excuse the pun - it had to be used) in the transmission system.
Can't see any posts on this (there probably are - sorry I'm having a stupid day - actually have a lot of those!)
Anyone have any faves?

We triatletes and cyclist talk endlessly about carbon this and that, ratios, chainsets etc. but as I suspected, after doing a search on the interweb on the matter, there doesn't seem to be an awful lot of discussion on this matter. The KMC 93 seems to get rave reviews on Wiggle so I think this will be my next chain.
the best way to get more life from a cassette is to regularly clean the drivechain and change chains when they are lightly worn (using a chain checker). i run 2 chains and swap between them regularly (4-6weeks).
you can leave a chain on as long as you want but after a while a worn chain will start skipping and shift less cleanly. once it has worn to a cassette you won't be able to fit a new one and you'll need to replace the cassette at the same time.
