Reviews
I had to connect two of these chains together to properly fit my Sun Seeker recumbent tricycle. I had to remove some links from one of the chains to attain the right number of links. After installing the chain on my trike's drivetrain, I tried using the master link provided to connect the chain ends. Well, it just didn't work. I've used master links in the past and never had any problem, but not so with this chain. I followed the enclosed directions precisely. I ended up having to use a chain tool to partially push out a couple pins and then reinserting the pins with the chain tool to connect the chain ends together. After that was done, the chain works great.
I bought this to replace the chain on my wife's bike. BTD's price was excellent so 5 stars for value! The chain works great once installed, however the break-off pin that Shimano supplies has a tendency to break off while you're installing it. On this chain as well as others I have bought. Order spares so you don't end up like I did, with my wife mad at me because we were supposed meeting her brother for a ride! Even better Order some KMC Kwik Links and keep some spares in your saddle bag in case you break a chain on a ride!
