SRAMPC-1091R 10-Speed Chain(Return to Product Page)

Was previously running a Dura Ace chain which was very quiet an shifted well. DA are just plain expensive. This chain meets the price point for value and a great chain as well. I've used them before and my only complaint is it's slightly louder on my Red drivetrain. Other than that it works perfectly.

This is a nice chain in term for performance for flat rides, light weigh and quiet. But won't last if you do frequent climbing. After about 2-12 months 700 miles, mine was so stretched and needed replaced. My previous KMC lasted over 2000 miles.

Rolls well and costs less

Whats not to like?

Good shifts, reasonable weight and good durability, together with the reusable master link that makes chain removal and installation a piece of cake. This newer version is indeed quieter running than the previous PC1090. I am definitely a Shimano fan for just about everything else, but really prefer the SRAM chains. I still have never broken one and I really like the drilled side plates for weight reduction. We have some very steep hills and I sometimes shift down under a lot of pedal pressure. These chains hold up and don't complain, even with that kind of abuse.

I run these chains with a KMC master link. Im sure the SRAM folks frown on this, but has worked fine for years. Otherwise, light, quite and excellent shifting.

I originally used the DuraAce chain due to the noise of the earlier SRAM chains. When I could no longer get the DuraAce chain for my 10 speed I gave this a try. Nice change, very easy to install with no pins and runs quiet!

Easy to assemble. Good value at the sale price.

This chain shifts equally well with Shimano and as well as SRAM cassettes, and the master link is such a plus (no messing with Shimano installation pins). I've run thousands of miles with this chain and never missed a shift. It's dead quiet, too. Highly recommended if you want a light, versatile chain that consistently performs well.

This is the best chain that money can buy for a ten-speed bicycle, regardless of the price - except the Bike Tires Direct sells it for an amazingly good price. Buy it and use it and you will be happy. Make sure that it is checked for wear and replaced when necessary.

I use these chains to race, I wouldn't recommend it for just commuting or casual riding, they are too expensive and too fragile.

I use these on both Shimano and SRAM 10-speeds. They come with the removable link and are a bit lighter. I never had on fail in service. They wear about the same.

Plan to continue using this chain.

I was using a Dura Ace chain that snapped at only about 400 miles, after putting this one on it was very quiet and seems to shift much better as well.
