a Weekend Warrior Date Reviewed: July 10, 2012 Strengths: The HG CN 73 came with my Trek Bike and 2000 miles later I decided to clean it. Removed it from the bike, cleaned with solvent, oiled and replaced. I ride 60 miles a week with 2000 feet of climbing and no skips or missed shifts with my ultegra 9 speed shifters. Weaknesses: No Master Link. When removing the chain, you have to be careful not to push the pin too far out or you will never get back into place. Bottom Line:

from Sydney, Australia Date Reviewed: January 11, 2010 Strengths: I like Shimano gear and have would turn to it if I was not sure about the alternatives. Weaknesses: After only about 100km the chain twisted badly. This was during a pretty smooth gear change on an even part of the track, the chain simply twisted between gears and next thing you know it was stuffed. 100kns is pretty pathetic but even so, I would not think much of it except for the other reviews that it has received that make it sound like a pretty weak chain. I would agree. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Manly Dam Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $40.00 Purchased At: Bika Addiction Similar Products Used: None Bike Setup: Ginat Trance 2010 X2, stock except for the Crossmark tyres.
