Review: KMC fantastic chains - Excellent chain - probably best you can buy on the market Degreased chain and used chain wax for best results Very smooth chain and works in perfect harmony with bike
Review: Good quality feel! - I love how this chain comes with quick links - this should always been a given and really don't understand why anyone would want a chain without one. The process to install the chain was really easy and the durability of the chain seemed pretty clear when cutting it to the right length - the links seemed to hold their shape really well whereas links on previous chains I have installed often bent during the chain cutting process using the same tools. Can't comment on longevity as I've only had for 1 month but no issues as of yet!
