| Duration Product Used: | 1 Year |
| Strengths: | The Powerlink, cheap price, performs well. |
| Weaknesses: | None |
| Similar Products Tried: | Shimano, Sachs, Sedis, Izumi |
| Bike Setup: | 1990 vintage Schwinn KOM S-7 running a 7 speed Shimano cogset |
| Bottom Line: | The Powerlink makes it really easy to remove the chain for cleaning, just squeeze the side plates together and push both link ends inward. The chain performs as well as any other brand I've used. |

| Duration Product Used: | 6 months |
| Price Paid: | $15 |
| Purchased At: | friends shop |
| Strengths: | None! |
| Weaknesses: | New chain is longer more than 1mm in comparison to Shimano chains. It qualifies to exchange in the momment of purchase! Wears off immediately! After 800km it has lenghten another 1mm! This weaknesses apply to 2003 or newer chains made by sram. Those are easy to indentify by SRAM logo printed on. Old pc58 with Sachs logo perform wery well. |
| Similar Products Tried: | IG90,XTR |
| Bike Setup: | Too much to say... :D |
| Bottom Line: | New pc58 chains are not worth ecen 1$. Don't buy this crap. You can only damage your new drivetrain and loose much money. Find an old pc58 with sachs logo - those are available in some stores. It is better to use Wipperman Connex instead. |
