The beginning of a company history that is still deeply rooted with its beginnings in the Japanese industrial metropolis, but never lost sight of the future. Shift systems, brakes, e-bike drives, pedals, shoes, clothing - numerous of these milestones opened up improved possibilities of cycling over years. And this is anything but coincidence - the knowledge accumulated over decades as well as the ability to implement current trends early into thoughtful and groundbreaking technologies. Review: Great product - Exactly as needed, no issues Review: Perfect! - Perfect chain for my 7-speed bike! The chain length is also good. The included chainring is useless.
