All of my bikes, run trim chains never a problem really like the quick link on them
Make your chain and cogs last. I lube my chain with Royal Purple gear oil. A drop on each link the night before and wipe it down with a paper towel. Add a little Gibbs oil to the small bottle I use for my RP gear oil 75/145 wt to condition the metal. After every ride no more than two I clean the chain with dawn and a rag. And a little water. A little dawn on the cassette and a paint brush And the cogs are shining, the same for the chain rings. RP cost $20 for a quart, but it lasts most of a year.
I'm averaging 9500 miles a year and burn through drivetrains. I've found these chains perform the best.
Great chain for training in the Pacific Northwest. Durable, not insanely heavy and easy to put on. It also lasts a full winter in the muck!
The price is right, and the shifting is tight! Works smoothly with my PG-1050 cassette. It's quiet running and fast shifting. Can't really ask too much more than that.
SRAM chains are my 'go to' for all my bikes. Good value and durability. I always have some on the shelf ready to replace worn ones and increase drive train longevity.
I have been using this chain with my Ultegra 6700 drivetrain. I find the SRAM chain quieter and better lasting than the Shimano chains.
I like the shinny finished... it helps me to keep the chain clean.
I just replaced my 10 speed chain on Pugsley fat bike. In doing the install, I love Sram's coupling link to easily close the gap between ends of chain. Overall, a chain isn't that glamours or exciting unless it's not working and presented problems like my old one with chain stretch and jumping gears. Subsequently, I am happy to report that I am shifting and pedaling without thinking about my chain.
SRAM quality, great price
I like the ability to be able to take the chain apart to clean it thoroughly and be able to put it back together with ease the best
The quick link works great and the chain is light and durable, lasting about 1000 miles more than most chains.
Great riding chain for SRAM 10-SPEED drivetrains. This version is a bit quieter than previous iterations, which were already quiet!
I keep my drivetrain clean and I have been getting 2 thousand mile miles out of my chain.
this is a little tight on the cogs
The Scram PC -1051 came as standard OEM equioment on my Focus bike. I rode over 2,500 miles on the original chain and replaced it with the same model. I use Scram chains on all my bikes, & believe that they last longer & work better than Shimano.
The Sram chain was very easy to put on my bicycle and it is because of the link that comes with the chain.
Gotta wonder why the connecting link is a one-time use only.
I usually run my road chains 600-700 miles (homebrew lubing every ride), break chain & bathe in solvent & clean cassette, chainrings. By doing this, you can get more mileage out of your chain, cassette & chainrings. Guess I'll buy an aftermarket re-useable connecting link (Connex, etc.) after the 1st bath.
Works as expected and seems like a quality chain after 200 miles.
Sram chains run great!!! Who cares if the link is hard to get off. The only time you need to take a chain off is to replace it. Do what the pro's do.
Or if you can't figure out how to clean your chain on the bike get the park tool MLP-1.
I also like this chain for the value. I will stretch out a chain before it sits long enough to rust, so I save money with the 1051 while still having a smooth chain.
