This is a wonderful, smooth chain that has greatly improved the pedaling and shifting performance of my 8 speed Campy Chorus road bike. And the Power Link makes it so easy to get the thing off to clean it, you now have no excuse to ride with anything other than a bright and shiny chain! Recommended to anyone using Campy 8 speed groups.

I'm amazed with the quality of this chain. My 7 speed shifts beautiful now! On the cassette, downshifts are straight up silent and up-shifts make one soft click and the chain is engaged. It also grabs onto the large chainring almost instantly. I'm running friction shifters, so feel is important in finding engagement points. Buttery smooth chain.

I cannot attest to durability, since I've only had it on a few days.

However, the oustanding performance gets it 5 stars from me.

Used this chain on my fixed gear conversion. Truly simple installation with the SRAM lock.

Just make sure you have a chain tool to push out the pin so you can get the right length.

I've used this chain on a road bike for about 200 miles now and it's held up just fine. The master link made it easy to install.

Very pleased with SRAM 870 and the Power Link. Excellent life and I am not one to maintain my bike frequently. Works great with my old Campag Athena 8-speed group from 1994.

Commute and ride approx 1700 miles per year and get years from each chain.

The master link makes this so amazing. No need to worry about only have one universal pin. You just pop of the links you need and pop in the master link and BAM you are back to riding. I shortened my on the side of the trail. It took my longer to get my gloves off and the chain tool out than taking out the links.

This bike chain was easy to install and worked flawlessly. SRAM chains are always smooth and quiet. You will not regret getting a SRAM chain for your bike.

I rode my bike with the chain it came with when I bought it new last summer. I put a solid 1000 miles on it throughout the summer and fall. I bought this chain in November of 2010. Once I finally put this SRAM chain on, I instantly felt the difference when I tested it around the neighborhood. The pedaling felt butter smooth. I felt like a moron when I had the biggest and dumbest grin on my face when I rode down the block with this chain on.

What I loved most about this chain, besides the fact it's so incredibly smooth on the road, is that the installation was easy as pie with the Power Link. This is the open link that snaps into place when you want to close the loop at the end of installation. I know it'll be just as easy to remove when I replace it with a new chain, this same model, early next month (June 2011).

This chain was an excellent investment for my bike. I highly recommend it.

Currently this chain's on my fixed gear: 3/32" ring & DA cog (42/16 ratio). Runs smooth, tight, and quite. Perfect!

Solid product, easy install, works on my 8 speed cyclocross setup. Good chain... have about 170 miles on my bike with it.
