Strengths: Strong chain that does what it's desgined to do.Weaknesses: None.Bottom Line: I replaced the stock Shimano IG-31 chain with this upgraded chain. I still use it to this day, when ever my 2001 Trek Fuel 90 Disk is in for service (1week in 2004), (2weeks in 2005) & (6weeks in 2006). It has fewer kilometers on it & I expect a lot more years of service from it.
Bottom Line: A chain by Shimano that's just as good as the stock IG-31 that came on my 1996 GT Ricochet.
Duration Product Used: More than 3 years
Price Paid:
$20.00
Purchased At: bike Nashbar (2000)
Similar Products Used: Whatever came stock on my 1994 Raleigh Matterhorn, Shimano IG-31 & Shimano HG-72.
Bike Setup: 1996 GT Ricochet.

Strengths: shines like the real thingWeaknesses: is this steel or chewing gum?Bottom Line: Used it for three months, was more stretched then a eight year old HG 91. (Don't know how many miles, must be a lot more then the 250 I got out of this one.)
A word of advice, try SRAM.

Strengths: + smooth shifting
+ price
+ durableWeaknesses: - no powerlink
- softer than HG'sBottom Line: This review is for IG70, not IG72, but I bet there is no significant difference between them. The chain itself is quite strong, yet softer than HG and stretch a little bit faster. After a year of work in demanding terrain it has never break or caused serious problems. Comparing to Sachs chains, IG70 shifting is a lot smoother and quicker under loads. However, with time it worsen by a fraction. One weak point might be lack of Sachs' powerlink but you can get used to it when it comes to cleaning and lubricating the chain. In my local shop, they sell IG70 for only $8.
