Strength:

Shifts well, low wear rate, Powerlink.

Weakness:

none.

The best thing I can say about this chain is that I don't notice it. It shifts well, wears slowly (I have nearly two years riding on the current one), and doesn't need lubing very often, although a big part of that credit should go to the Amsoil HDMP. I am a big fan of SRAM products and run their shifters and derailleurs on my mountain bike.

Shimano 8 speed chain (also good but I like the Powerlink).

doesn't break

Weakness:

none

I've broken and twisted and obliterated a bunch of other crappy chains, this one is definetely not top of the line but neither is my ride; this chain has never failed me once and I have ground it into the chainstay at least 50 times without damaging it. (yep, I got a N-gear chainstop now) Didn't stretch very much over a years worth of riding; on top of that both my cassette and front chainrings had significant wear and damage to them and this chain kept going. No rust, little cleaning/oiling, this is a fine chain for a small price; if you're not running a real expensive drive train, use this. If nothing else, this is a great backup to throw in your repair parts bag.

Powerlink seems to have stuck on

I very great chain for the price, comes lubed, and works great out of the box. A great chain that is worth every penny that you pay for it. Made my system shift smoother.

This chain locks up with the slightest amount of mud or dirt - never had a chain perform this bad.

Strength:

None!

Weakness:

New chain is longer more than 1mm in comparison to Shimano chains. It qualifies to exchange in the momment of purchase! Wears off immediately! After 800km it has lenghten another 1mm! This weaknesses apply to 2003 or newer chains made by sram. Those are easy to indentify by SRAM logo printed on. Old pc58 with Sachs logo perform wery well.

New pc58 chains are not worth ecen 1$. Don't buy this crap. You can only damage your new drivetrain and loose much money. Find an old pc58 with sachs logo - those are available in some stores. It is better to use Wipperman Connex instead.

Me like! This chain will not let you down and the masterlink will make your life much easier. I ordered a Gusset Single-Speed for my rig and I expect this chain to work fine... Good price too!

Strength:

The Powerlink, cheap price, performs well.

Weakness:

None

The Powerlink makes it really easy to remove the chain for cleaning, just squeeze the side plates together and push both link ends inward. The chain performs as well as any other brand I've used.
