Price Paid:

Germany
Strengths:
Looks pretty.
Weaknesses:
Cannot be repaired on the road.
Similar Products Used:
Sedis, Shimano
Bike Setup:
Norco Avanti SL set up for touring--wide-range ratios, heavy-duty wheels and tires.
Bottom Line:
This thing is absolutely useless for touring or any kind of unsupported riding. I bought it new and tried to install it the "old-fashioned way" because I had lost the "power-link." This does not work--the link side-plate cracked as drove in the pin. What the hell am I supposed to do on the road? Do I need to carry an extra "special link" for every time the chain breaks while touring?

Purchased At:
Seavers Cycles, Hawera
Strengths:
Strong Chain, shifts OK
Weaknesses:
Can't remove for cleaning without purchasing a new 'Power Link'
Similar Products Used:
Shimano,SRAM
Bike Setup:
3 x 8 commuter
Bottom Line:
I just measured the chain at 6000k and no stretch!. This chain is way better than the SRAM PC48, which only lasts 3-5000k and streches like there's no tommorrow. The shimano was OK but this has been the best so far. (I use a heavy oil spray type industrial chain lube every 500k or so.)
