Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

It's easy to install and durable. I love that the chain came lightly lubed and ready for installation. Easy to install, great value.

Sram pro link quick connector uses a different connecting procedure and mechanism. A combination of these two steps frees the pins to allow free motion at that pin. Sram * link is also very easy to master.

Purchased two chains and installed one on a trek fx2. Usually ride 70-80 miles/week and have ridden about 250 miles with the new chain. I guesstimate i get 1200-2000 miles on them.

Their ends raise upwards a bit instead of having recessed portions. They shift flawlessly, they don't rust, and little stretch. Lekkie 42 tooth sprocket.



Cons

I get about 500 miles on this chain till it starts slipping on the cogs, and with new cogs that went on at the same time.

Will post back with the life on the third chain next year.

Price


Installed easily and the price was right.


Very good chain and at a good price

Packaging/appearance


Was easy to install and no more loud chain noise

Competitiveness


I bought this when i did a mid drive e-conversion on a hybrid bike with a bafang 750w motor.


They do tend to run a little louder than shimano chains that i have used.


I have one more pc830 to use up before i try a kmc x8.

    Box says for 8 speeds and has 114 links really 114 pins aka 57 links


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    When will the bicycle and motorcycle industry learn that a link is made up of 2 pins look at the master link


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Aka 1 link and it has 2 pins or rivets


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Will stick with these chain for as long as i can get them


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    While the chain is billed as 678 it may be short on a 29” bike


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I installed the chain on my 29’er and it was two links short


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Had to splice in a pair of links from my old chain which is a less than ideal solution


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    In fairness i didn’t know how many links were in my old chain and knowing the proper chain size in of links would have prevented that
