9-Speed Bike Chain

Just a replacement as had previous chain fora while without any issues

After 10 months (maybe 500 miles?) the chain had stretched by more than 1% and consequently wore out my cassette, which I will also now need to replace - except it is now very difficult to find HG50 9 speed cassette. I normally check chain length once a year and was surprised this had stretched so much in such a short time - I've previously used SRAM PC951, which have typically lasted 2 to 4 years. Very surprised, as the chain seems to be made by renowned brand KMC. The was item number 1463427 - the packet says x114 + x1, but I think it is 114 links including the quick link It looks like this chain has been replaced by one with more links, which I guess basically the same but longer so this review would apply to that as well.

Bought during lockdown for my 1999 mountain bike, I’ve owned it since new. Nice value chain.
