Review by BobNew chain greatly improved shifting!by BobCycling EnthusiastMountains of Pennsylvania. I use this chain on a hybrid bike that sees mostly dirt and grave. My drive train is warn out and new chain rings and cassettes are are to find. Replaced the chain to start the rebuild and it made a huge difference in shifting. Now If I could just find the other parts. I will replace this chain with a new one and have a new bike.

Review by TandemusGreat replacement for a shimano chainby TandemusCycling EnthusiastHeadland AlI purchased this chain to replace a worn out shimano chain. The bike is an older Trek mountain bike my wife rides on the trainer. The fact you need no tools to install the chain makes for a easy installation.

Review by Anonymouslightweight, reliable chain by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastPortland, OrI am using this chain on my 7-speed touring bike. It goes on easy, comes with a quick link they call a Powerlink. I tried using another brand but after just 2 years a pin had worked it's way out. I have used Sram chains on my 8 speed commuter for decades and never had any problems so went back to Sram for loaded touring.

Review by jshoag27This is my go to BMX racing chain and has been for yearsby jshoag27Competitive RacerTulsa, OKFits all chain rings in BMX - I usually put on a new chain if I need a longer one - never pin a chain back together unless you want to experience the pain of crashing when you break it. This is a 332 chain 6-7-8 speed width chain.

Review by bruce in CTSo many bikes use this size chainby bruce in CTCycling Enthusiastmanchester, CT2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.I worked on a lot of bikes this summer, including ones I refurbished to donate to kids in need. I jokingly started to say that "the chain is never good" when asked about how the work was going. For fixing shifting problems, jumping sprockets under load, and just generally getting an unrideable bike to work o.k., a replacement chain was second only to tubes for getting bikes on the road. I still need to order a couple more, and this size chain is the most commonly needed one for the multi-speed bikes I saw this year.

Review by jeffreyethanleeGood chain replaced a very worn-out 7-speed chainby jeffreyethanleeDaily CommuterPhiladelphia, PA1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.I used this to replace a chain with 5000+ miles, and it has been fine. Very easy to work with, but I did have to degrease it and re-lubricate it because the original grease was very thick and sticky, which is great for long term storage. But it would have attracted a lot of dirt on the roads.

Review by RonA quality chainby RonCompetitive RacerAnn ArborWhat's there to say? If you have a SRAM system you'll want a SRAM chain. We do a lot of gravel riding and having a spare chain makes it easier to keep a clean chain handy.

Review by John BNot as easy to remove as the you-tube videos might suggest.by John BCycling EnthusiastNW CT2 of 3 customers found this review helpful.After a broken chain sent me to the pavement I figured it was time for a replacement. The new chain was easy enough to install but I miss-guessed the proper length and had to remove it to remove the extra links. That was not so easy. I resorted to Youtube for help and ended up using a loop of wire to pull the pins of the master link together to unlatch the chain. I suspect that this will become easier over time.
