Smooth, reliable and great value
This Shimano link chain is a solid choice for anyone looking to keep their 6/7/8-speed drivetrain running smoothly. Installation was quick, and shifting feels crisp and responsive right out of the box. Durable, quiet, and budget-friendly—exactly what you’d expect from Shimano. Perfect for commuters, weekend riders, or anyone needing a dependable replacement! Thumbs up from me! :)

Good chain
Perfect. Fitted with easeI see many comments in reference to shimanos new quick link.When I first had a chain like this it took me half an hour and seemed impossible to install and it had me looking at videos .Once you know the "knack" it's easy. Did it today in 2 seconds. There's just a knack to it. You have to pull the chain laterally NOT attempt to pull two ends together, in order for the other end to pop in. It's actually really easy!Had same one before, just lasted me some 3-4000 miles so went for the same oneReasonable pricing tooAll good

Excellent chain which should last many years. Easy to fit but make sure you purchase the correct tools to do so, as I have done.

Strong but fiddly
Great product as described. Feels strong. Its already lubricated so you don't need to lubricate it yourself. Had to cuddle around with the power link but got there in the end. I would recommend watching a few YouTube videos to find out how to fit if you're not confident.

Smooth transaction and product arrived in perfect condition.
The chain transfers the power from the chainring to the sprocket of the rear hub. It is exposed to extreme stress and weather influences. Chains vary in speed depending on the conditions of use, but each one needs to be replaced sooner or later. Timely replacement of the chain is the only way to protect chainrings and sprockets from excessive wear. To maintain the best possible performance of the Shimano HyperDrive system, it is important to drive original Shimano HG chains.
