Ended up losing 6 links in the end. Don't expect a £35 chain to break so easily.

from Boston, MA Date Reviewed: April 23, 2006 Strengths: light, shifted smooth the few shifts I got out of it. Easy to repair, unfortunately I know that. Weaknesses: This thing broke my first ride out on it, at about mile 3. Weak. Broke right behind the master link. I luckily kept the extra links when I put it on. Repressed 2 new links in, and about 4.5 miles later it broke again on the other side of the chain. This chain sucks. Amazingly it got me back to the car at mile 10.

from USA Date Reviewed: October 27, 2004 Strengths: Hmmmm???? It was nice while it lasted. Weaknesses: THIS IS A ROAD BIKE CHAIN!!! Worked great for about 12 rides. I purchased the chain with an entirely new drive train - all high end. Today the chain broke TWICE on on the a 6 mile trail - one of the the easiest, most mellow rolling hardpack trails I've ever been on! TWICE! The links just blew apart on easy uphills and were left splayed open, with no pin to be found! Very odd! I'm 170 on the bike and am known as a finesse rider - I do not grind and mash, I know how to shift.

from Albuquerque Date Reviewed: March 14, 2002 Strengths: Simple chain without gimicks (read not a Shimano product). Lasts longer than a Shimano and can be (and should be) assembled without a master link. Easy to install properly, although some people appear to still be greatly challenged. Weaknesses: It's a chain. You need to install it properly and you need to change it when it has stretched more than 1/16 of an inch over 100 links or so. Doesn't shift quite as well as a Shimano chain. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: South Boundary Trail Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Similar Products Used: Mostly Sachs/Sedis chains, Regina, Shimano. Bike Setup: Several that don't matter to the content of this review.

Weaknesses: The chain broke in the first 100 yards. That did not make my first ride of the year very enjoyable.
