5.0 out of 5 stars Easiest and cheapest way to restore drivetrain performance, December 12, 2011

Yet another well-made Shimano product. I had 3,000 miles on my drivetrain and was starting to experience stiff links. The standard loosing techniques didn't work so it was time for the chain to go. The new Shimano chain worked like a charm, restoring drivetrain performance and general shifting smoothness.

Be sure to get the chain length right. Zinn and various online videos offer instructions and helpful tips. Also, a chain tool is necessary to complete the job.

Overall, a good value for a critical component of bicycle performance.

As someone who has had multiple dangerous chain failures in the past, I don't want to skimp on this part of my bicycle. So when my last chain became damaged due to broken teeth on the rear casette, I decided to invest in the Shimano Ultegra 9-Speed chain. It appears to be the best chain I have yet used. While it has only been a few months since my purchase, I have been quite pleased its smooth drive and shifting operation. There appear to be no flaws in its design or manufacture. For comparison, the chain is approximately 0.5 mm narrower than my eight speed chain (6.2 mm instead of 6.7mm) it replaced. The true test will come after a few years in inclement weather. Meanwhile, I recommend this product.

Pros
Smooth operation


Cons
Expensive

This chain does not have a quick release link and comes strink wrapped to a piece of cardboard. You will need a chain break tool to push the pin in. I have no complaints with this chain, it was perfect for my build. I removed no links and it seemed to be exact length I needed. I built a 3x9 rigid bike with standard 3x9 Shimano gearing if that helps.
