Michael Stewart Date Reviewed: August 23, 2012 Strengths: Good chain, nickel plated, and I ride a Felt 24" Dirt Jumper, "Felt Brink" 2012 model. My KMC chain wore out quick and became very loose due to stretching almost instantly (after a couple months). Bottom line, this is a great chain for bmx/fixed gear riders. Also, to the comments above about this SRAM PC1 Nickel chain: Do any of you keep your chain lubricated? If not, check out Rock n Roll lubrication and read the directions. Weaknesses: None so far, and I ride a 24" BMX Dirt Jumper (Felt Brink). I paid $20 at Elite Bicycles in Tyler, TX. Bottom Line:

from New York, NY, USA Date Reviewed: October 9, 2005 Strengths: Cheap, looks shiny, snap link connector is convenient. Weaknesses: INCURABLE STIFF LINKS! This chain is really poor quality. It is plagued by 'phantom' stiff links.. When the chain is not tensioned, all the links seem fine, but when you tension it (ie. start riding), the links start to stick, and you get serious chain skip. A bike with a chain like this is totally unrideable, not to mention that it damages the rear sprocket. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: riverside Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $8.00 Purchased At: Nashbar Similar Products Used: SRAM PC-68, various Shimano HG chains Bike Setup: 1993 Steel Stumpjumper SS conversion. Chris King SS rear cog, IRC Metro slicks.
