$24.00 | | Purchased At: | Performance | | Strengths: | Long Lasting, Power Link, Shifts great. Great price. Looks Great. | | Weaknesses: | doesn't lube itself | | Similar Products Used: | shimano HG (less bang for the buck) | | Bike Setup: | Sram X-7 Ders, X-5 shifters pg 850 cassette Ride XC Crankset on a Mongoose Tyax Pro RaceFace | | Bottom Line: | I put this chain on in Feb... after just over 2000 miles it is just now showing signs of wear. I lube it after every ride and clean it monthly. I use Clean Ride to lube it. Keep it clean and lubed and it won't rust. I average 100 miles a week.
If you want an 8 speed chain that will last and thats not overpriced, This is the one. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$22.00 | | Purchased At: | dekalb cyclery | | Strengths: | Power link made for a very quick, easy, installation. When brand new, it was very very smooth, and made me happy. However, I was probably more overjoyed just because my previous chain was extremely rusty. | | Weaknesses: | It rusted extremely fast. Extreme disappointment!!!! I bought it because of the nickel plating to prevent rusting. Total disappointment. The chain is covered in rust after just 2 months. The powerlink is useless now, as it is also covered in rust. booooo. | | Similar Products Used: | one level down, | | Bike Setup: | specialized rockhopper 06 | | Bottom Line: | i thought it would be a great chain, and had a wonderful start, but the fun was short-lived. It rusted far too fast. Not buying any sram chains anymore. (other sram products - i've had a great time) | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
