from Westland, MI Date Reviewed: August 6, 2005 Strengths: Cheap, reliable and the powerlink makes cleaning a breeze. Buddies who break their chains always thank me when I give them some of my extra power links to fix their chain on the trail. What a spare tire concept that is! Weaknesses: None. I'm surpised by the number of 'weak' postings. I snapped my first shimano chain on the 2nd ride. I've never broken a SRAM chain, but I do replace them once to twice a year. I crank hard on uphills and SRAM never lets me down.

XT cranks, LX cassette as well as SRAM cassettes. XT/LX derailleurs.

from Durham Date Reviewed: June 2, 2005 Strengths: Smoother than a shimano and very easy to remove and fit. Very little chain suck compared to the shimano Weaknesses: It broke after about 100 miles. A link snapped in half. it didnt look like it had been manufactured right under close inspection, the material was a little porus. the chain was then fixed but then the power link snapped, probably due to the first break.

from Marin County, CA Date Reviewed: July 28, 2004 Strengths: This is a durable chain. I recently climbed 8 thousand feet at Tahoe on a trip and the chain performed well. Even after knocking the chain off the cogs on technical decents the chain hung tough. Weaknesses: Carry S-Ram power link gold spares. I bent the power link on the ride and installed a pin to get home. The chain is not designed for pins, this caused rough shifting. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $28.00 Purchased At: Performance Similar Products Used: Shimano chains - have not been as durable for me - 190 lbs 6'+ feet tall. Bike Setup: K2 Razorback 3.0 (2003) - Sid airshock

from Prescott, AZ Date Reviewed: May 28, 2004 Strengths: I've used these off and on for years. I broke a few over the years, but they were better than the shimano chains at the time. Weaknesses: Nothing special anymore, shimanos latest CN7701 holds up way better for me. I broke my last PC69 a few days ago, after less than a month of use. Broke it climbing in the granny gear. Not worth it compared to the next-generation of shimano chains Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: various Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $25.00 Purchased At: bike shop Similar Products Used: KMC, Shimano Chains Bike Setup: Foes FXR
