$35.00 | | Purchased At: | Breakaway Bikes | | Strengths: | Strong Chain... I weigh 230 lbs. and it hasn't broke yet. | | Weaknesses: | none. | | Similar Products Used: | Shimano XTR,and Sachs. | | Bike Setup: | 2007 Specialized Stumpjumper FSR. Not stock at all... | | Bottom Line: | I am not a small guy and I ride hard but this chain has held up to my pounding pretty well. If you keep it clean it will last. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$55.00 | | Purchased At: | Michaels Bicycles in Newbury Park | | Strengths: | Sram's power link is great for maintaining the drive train. | | Weaknesses: | None | | Similar Products Used: | PC 990 & PC 991 hollow pin chains and shimano junk. The PC 990 link seized when the link gouged during shifting. No issues with the 991 Hollow pin. Shimano is just garbage! | | Bike Setup: | Fisher Hifi Pro | | Bottom Line: | Some people are wondering what the cross step technology is. I just downloaded the 2006 tech manual and the only difference between this and the rest of the Sram chain line up is the the "push power". The cross steps push power is rated at 562 while the rest of the chains are rated at 450.
One thing I noticed about this chain compared to hollow pin chains is it's super quiet when super dirty. When I was riding yesterday I noticed I was riding in gears I typically don't ride in with other chains. Example: I was in the big chain ring up front and 3rd or 4th from the big chain ring on the back without hitting the front derailleurs cage.
This is the best chain I've used and don't plan on ever using anything else. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: October 10, 2007 | | Favoriate Trail: | any | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Strengths: | good looking(for a chain)lol,strong,quiet,easy to get on and off | | Weaknesses: | none as yet | | Similar Products Used: | shimy chains | | Bike Setup: | o7 kona stinky rebuilt from ground up | | Bottom Line: | i changed my whole shimano drive train to sram,with the super short cage x9 der,and the 990 cassette,i thought i might as well change the chain to match,i was running all sram drive train with a hg53 shimmy chain,i changed to the pc991 cross stepped chain,it was similar in weight but the links were much more solid,it came with a sram powerlink for easy cleanin/repairs,it looks good,and the rollers were way better than the shimmy ones,and much smoother/quiteter,if your in the same position i was and thats the only thing your not running to match,go for it,for me there was no regrets at all, | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$36.00 | | Purchased At: | ebay | | Strengths: | Easy to install and remove. | | Weaknesses: | It broke within the first two weeks even with new cassette and chainrings. I stopped on a hill, tried to start and SNAP! | | Similar Products Used: | Other top of the line SRAM and Shimano chains | | Bike Setup: | 2005 Specialized Stumpjumper Pro Disk, xtr cassette, action-tec titanum chainrings | | Bottom Line: | If you always ride uphill first at least you will be able to coast home. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$44.00 | | Purchased At: | LBS | | Strengths: | shifts great, quiet | | Weaknesses: | none so far | | Similar Products Used: | 971 sram | | Bottom Line: | replaced a 971 chain because of stiff links....this chain is quiet, shifts crisp compared to 971 before I put a stick through the rd. I am heavy at 230 and this chain has not given me any problems, will probably replace with the same chain next time as I am very pleased...I can not say that about all SRAM products so I am not kissin butt...it is expensive at 47 bucks out the door so four flaming turds on value...everything is overpriced for how long it last these days...when I was a kid I had only one chain on my Giant Sedona and I didn't know chain lube existed...it lasted 13 years...today they last 13 days | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
