$16.00 | | Purchased At: | many places | | Strengths: | its so called 'standard' chain for 8x shimano cassetes, should work with them pretty well, looks solid | | Weaknesses: | instant rust
instead of getting longer, chain breaks! | | Similar Products Used: | hg30, hg40, hg53, various sram chains | | Bike Setup: | weekend warrior | | Bottom Line: | i had few hg50's and they are decent shimano chains. you cant expect much from them althro they should work well if maintained propertly. probably commuting is best usage for them, be prepared for worst if you are using them for other purposes like sporting or long tours(80+ miles). be warned that those chains preffer to break themselves instead of streching. be sure to connect it propertly or you will be sorry :S | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$27.00 | | Purchased At: | LBS | | Strengths: | It works. Not showing signs of excessive wear. | | Weaknesses: | Seems to suck in any loose dirt and gravel more often than competing chains. A little expensive when compared with a generic KMC chain which seems to be identical in form and function. | | Similar Products Used: | KMC generic, SRAM model I've forgotten | | Bike Setup: | 1997 Gemini Echo Beach, Deore FD, Deore XT RD, Alivio cranks/chainrings and shifters | | Bottom Line: | Expensive for no real gain. Busted a link for no apparent reason after only 80KM. Next time I think I'll just buy a generic KMC, a third the price. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
