10-speed chains ; Shimano vs Sram vs others

[Cycleops]

I just put a sram 1051 from halfords on, much quiter than my shimano dura ace chain.

One chain quieter than another. Well you must have super sensitive hearing.

Loud swearing and finger power so far has worked for me.

I can take a picture of a few spare links I have next to a metal ruler if you want.
EDIT: on a retail kmc x10sl

No need. I checked the chain I took off, and it slides back and forth the same amount as this new one, it never clicked, though. I'll see if it continues once the chain has loosened up a bit.
