The KMC 10.93 chain is at same price point as the SRAM PC-1031. As a more direct answer, I have not had any problems reusing SRAM powerlocks, but I have only needed to do that a few times. | |

corrected terminology, tags.

Unless you're cleaning your chain off the bike (which likely goes against manufacturer recommendations), you shouldn't need to break the chain except when you need to replace it. And when you buy a new SRAM chain, you get a new powerlink/lock (as appropriate for the chain). | |
