Pros

Bought this for 9 speed gear system. Genuine oe chain, no point messing with none oe stuff really. Cleared over 2500 miles on vulcan espec ebike with this.

It's a great chain, first time i've tried something not cheap and grey. I'm impressed with the corrosion resistance it has with the plating. Well made and seems very durable.

Having purchased a pair of kmc missing links the chain was fitted. Delivered early and really easy to fit with the link.



Cons

Poor quality chains, turns very rusty after few weeks of installing it. It still jumps, but even worse now. If you do choose to buy this product pick a different seller that is going to be more co-operative about returning faulty products.

    So i use this on an ebike it has to deal with peak torque of 160nm 1000watts so it deals with alot of stress i would get around 1k miles2k miles before seeing big chain stretching but i would still be able to ride on now if this was used on a normal mtb i would say you would get around 5k miles or more

    If you wait too long to replace a chain and it has stretched too much then all the components will be damaged too from the stretching

    Replacing just the chain will make things worse not better
