Hey from South Carolina. I may have bought the or one. of the last bikes Pro's Closet sold before the doors closed for good. Got a 2020 Domane SLR 9 AXS Etap in the Purple Haze color. Awesome mechanic at the LBS recommended this very chain. I got 2 of them, waxed and running perfectly. Have run each one 2x, I rotate every couple hundred miles. I love the look.

Awesome!

At over 100kg and preferring rough gravel I'll stop at 9 or 10 speed drive chains. I'm not convinced that I won't snap an 11/12/13 speed chain under load.

A chain is usually rated at minimum 8 kilonewtons, witch means you have to push about 6000W. So i think you are OK with this chain :)

True that 😂
