Good chain, good price good value
I purchased this chain as a spare to sit on the shelf for the original on my CX bike. That chain has almost 3000 miles of Nebraska gravel, CX, and MTB singletrack and is in great shape with little wear so far. Like I said, tougher than nails. Paired with the SRAM X-Sync it makes a near bombproof system. Of course, I keep it cleaned and lubed well, but, man, it's a tough chain.
I have a 2016 Specialized Stumpjumper with a 1x11 drive train, and this chain does a good job of meeting the demands of smooth and reliable shifting. No need to spend more when this gets it done
I've been using these chains for over three years now and love them.
I ride about 200 miles a week in the winter and up to 500 miles a week in the summer. I was getting tired of the Shimano chains wearing out so fast and a local bike shop recommended them.
I really love the quick release link, I clean my chain a lot and it makes that job so much easier.
They are a little heavy that's why I gave it 4 stars
SRAM chains work well. The enclosed master link makes installing the chain much simpler (not that the old method is that difficult provided one has the proper tool) because no tool is necessary.
i'm using this on my SS mtb. it's a solid light chain.
Been running Sram chains for a few years. They are very durable and work great with my Force drivetrain.
This is my go to chain for my gravel bike.
My go to chain. Easy to install, reliable, and inexpensive.
Good around chain. I use it on my Tri bike and it's never failed me in training or races.
a decent chain if u need a chain but can't get the 1 you'd typically buy, (supply chain problems cough cough)... With regular cleaning expect to get about 2k miles out of it.
Works well and is quiet. Great price for a great chain. Doesnt seem to get dirty easily. Works with powerlinks. What else is there to say? Its a chain!
If you run a SRAM 1x drivetrain for cyclocross racing or gravel riding in general, this is a great option. Not too expensive, just a small weight penalty over the 1170 chain, but runs just as smooth. It's going to need to be replaced after each season anyways, so why not save a few bucks. This chain is a great balance of price and performance, and the PowerLink makes it really easy to install or take off and clean thoroughly after a muddy race.
Going on 2000 miles with this chain. So far so good. Still shifting smooth and crisp. Will buy again.
needed a new chain. Bought this one and it works like a champ.
After breaking several Shimano chains it was time to try another brand. I started using Sram chains and my problems went away. The weakest part of any Shimano chain is the pin connecting the ends together. With Sram's Master Link the weak link is gone and the connection is really solid. The Master Link's can be purchased separately for very little money so you can keep one in your under seat bag and in the very rare case you do break a chain on the road you can still get back home. Its such a good idea it is almost amazing that any company is still using pins to hold the chain ends together.
Just as advertised.
Plenty long for My 59cm frame running 2X11 and a 34-tooth cassette.
Great performance and the master link was easily applied.
Does everything a chain should do. Not the lightest.
Great chain. Replacing the chain is one the easiest things to do to keep my bike shifting smoothly.
