This chain is not too expensive given the Dura-Ace name on it, and lasts a long time! I've been happy with it.
An upgrade of the chain on my bike. You can't go wrong with Shimano quality and Dura-Ace is their top of the line. It's quiet and smooth shifting.
Oh-oh, what's a chain got to do, got to do with it?
What's a chain but a second-hand bike part?
What's a chain got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a chain when a chain can be broken?
Get a Dura-Ace chain, it's butter smooth and won't break your heart.
Strip it, wax it, easy clean, easy service.
I ride approximately 5,000 mi/yr and refit my mount with a Dura Ace 11sp chain at or around 3,000 miles. How do you not have confidence in Shimano? The rest of you can have Sram, Campy and KMC. I'll stay with ol' blue.
Great chain equals great shifting, money well spent
I've been using DA and Ultegra cassettes for 20 years. I typically use Ultegra on my trainer wheel and DA on my road wheel. The DA has outlasted the Ultegra by 21 year in and year out. With a matched DA chain I usually get about 4000 miles of road riding before replacing.
Love this chain , super mileage when used with Boeshield t 9 6000 oiling every 120 or so
Quiet. Smooth. Durable. Use this on all our bikes.
This could be the lightest chain on the market but as a result may not last as long as a heavier model.
This chain is great for the style of riding that I do. No complaints from me.
Good combination of reliability, performance and cost. Excellent chain at this price. And Shimano is finally on board with quick links.
It's dura-ace. It is a great chain.
Love it but nothing much different from Ultegra
Shimano is a good, predictable chain. It lasts as long as more expensive competitors. Shimano is now including a quick-link instead of a connecting pin. Most will probably like that. I find it easier to join the chain with a pin than with the quick-link. I have tools for both methods. And you still need a chain pin tool to shorten a new chain to its proper length.
CHAIN IS SMOOTH - BUT QUICK LINK REQUIRES A LOT OF EFFORT WITHOUT TOOL
Durability not as long as Shimano Ultegra Chains. But prefer to use this as the rest of my bike has Dura Ace components. Lighter than Ulegra.
Best chain for crisp shifting
Now that Shimano offers a quick link, all you need is a chain breaker for a quick (reliable) chain replacement.
Buy a Park Tools chain checker, and replace at 0.5. Your drivetrain will thank you!
No more pins, quick link included.
