drewdoeboy Date Reviewed: January 17, 2013 Strengths: I am a clyde (275lbs) and I have had this chain for three years of light to moderate riding. I clean the chain every time I ride and I feel that when its clean, it's pretty quite. Since replacing this chain three years ago the only thing I have broken is the Cassette. I feel completely comfortable in putting some power down on steep climbs and never think twice about it. Now lets see if they make a 10spd version.... Weaknesses: It is not light compared to some chains out there. When its dirty it seems to have a gritty feel to the shift, but that is because its caked with mud or grim. It's also kind of loud as well. Bottom Line:

a All Mountain Rider Date Reviewed: June 24, 2012 Strengths: Well... It's a SRAM. Light weight. Looks good. That's it. Notice nothing abou the quality. Wondering why? Thought so. Now look at the weaknesses. Weaknesses: Let's start with the fact that the chain has broken three times in the last two months. It's a SRAM, so I'm talking about a cheap component here. I ride somewhere in between eight and fifteen miles a weekend. Not a lot of miles compared to some riders.

from SLC, Utah Date Reviewed: July 19, 2008 Strengths: Like the powerlink for cleaning or other maintenance. They state you should replace it each time you disconnect, but I haven't had it fail yet after several uses. Weaknesses: Broke three times (different links) within 5 rides. Fortunately I always carry spare parts and a chain tool. I'm just happy I never got stranded or jamed/broke my derailleur.
