Duration Product Used:2 Years
Price Paid: $25.00
Strengths:Keeps shifting well and has been pain free over 18 mths of long weekend trail rides.
Weaknesses:I was alternating two of these chains and in race conditions I kept snapping them. Twice each. Just don't seem durable under trying conditions.
Bottom Line:It's great until you really put the power on, then it has a tendency to snap!

Date Reviewed: December 11, 2002
Duration Product Used:6 months
Strengths:Corrosion resistant, easy to open up and clean, fairly light.
Weaknesses:Expensive compared to other makes, chain snapped during a tech ride (not at the Power Link though).
Similar Products Used:Shimano HG72
Bike Setup:Giant XTC Team, Marzochi Z3 air, Sram 9.0SL
Bottom Line:It is a nice chain even though it broke on me. But then I had similar experience with Shimano's chains too. I rate 3 chilis on it for durability (value)and 4 chilis on overall as it is one of the nicer chains around.

Date Reviewed: June 24, 2002
Favorite Trail:Woodhill
Duration Product Used:6 months
Purchased At:Bike Barn, Newmarket
Strengths:Minimal wear, seems to shift pretty well.
Weaknesses:None
Similar Products Used:Shimano CN-7701
Bike Setup:Marin Rift Zone. XT cranks, LX cassette, XT rear shifter.
Bottom Line:This chain has provided good reliable service over the last six months of dealing with riding in abrasive sand and dealing with a first time rider doing some pretty scary shifts. The chain is now showing minimal wear so I have shifted it onto a bike I use for wind training. Have just bought a new Shimano CN-7701 (XTR chain) which appears to shift slightly better - but then I am comparing a new chain with one that has had six months wear and tear.

Date Reviewed: May 12, 2002
Favorite Trail:The next one... probably
Duration Product Used:3 months
Price Paid: $25.00
Purchased At:Wiggle
Strengths:Easy to fit and take apart
Weaknesses:It WILL snap.
Similar Products Used:Normal chain (didn't snap).
Bike Setup:Bike, with snapped chain.
Bottom Line:It'll probably snap at the powerlink if you weigh more than a small child (a slim one). Mine went after about 2 months of XC riding on a new XT chainset that was cleaned after every ride. I'd had a stock Shimano jobbie on for over a year of heavy XC abuse in all conditions without any problems. Buy a normal chain, and put up with cleaning it on your bike.
