I don't have a tool to measure my chain.

Sure you do - if you have a ruler. Measure out 12" along the bottom run of chain (derailleur keeps it under tension so this is a good place to measure) and 0" and 12" should happen at the same point - center of a pin, end of a plate, whatever. If it's off by less than 1/8", you're good. 1/8" or more, replace the chain.

carbon_dude, I will try to get the SRAM replacement.
But as you say, trying another brand may be the best.

cmh, thanks for the measurement trick.
I'm just coming from a night ride, and will check tomorrow if I'm still within the 1/8" range.
