Shimano HG-93 9sp Chain
Product DescriptionThe Ultegra HG-93 chain features super-narrow 9-speed construction, allowing for the use of a 9-speed cassette of the same overall width as 8-speed. Its ultra-precision construction helps maintain strength, dependability, and shifting performance on the narrower 9-speed sprockets. You also get superior durability, with pin pull-out resistance increased by 50% in comparison to 8-speed.

a Cross Country Rider Date Reviewed: July 21, 2012 Strengths: Been XC riding since 2000, probably purchased 8-10 of these chains in that time and have only had one fail by breaking and from what I remember, it failed where I joined it after installation. I must not have set the pin correctly. These chains are stong and if maintained properly (occasionally clean and lubricate) will last until stretched and in need of replacement. Now if you dont maintain, clean occasionally and lubricate, then maybe they will break. Never tried this, so I dont know for sure. Weaknesses: Havent found one yet, even the price is reasonable for what you are getting - worry-free riding.
