Pros

They're much tighter in tolerance now and can be a bit of a pain. Soak the chain. Best of all no more mess. Meshes perfectly.

Highlights

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Quality

It's similar to the old school sedisport chains we used to use for 6 speed clusters back in the 1980's with the bowed outer-plates.

I've been using the sram dub bottom bracket with the nx crank for a year or two and love it.

Competitiveness

A little heavy compared with shimano chains.
