HG40 116 W/CL Chain - Grey, 6/7/8 Speed

It's a Shimano chain! It's nothing fancy, but you know it's going to work, and you know it's going to be reliable. It looks great when you first install it, but like all chains, unless you wax them, they'll start looking grimy pretty quickly. There are probably slightly cheaper alternatives out there, but I don't know why you'd cheap out to save a couple of bucks. This is quiet and smooth as long as the rest of your drivetrain is properly adjusted, and they'll last you for years if you keep them properly lubed.

It’s a great fit. I couldn’t use the connector that came with it. Perhaps my skills aren’t that advanced.

Shimano HG40, on time and brand new.

Chain work, just as expected

The Shimano HG40 chain was easy to install and shifts smoothly. The only issue was my own mistake — I cut the chain too short because I didn’t follow the instructions carefully, and I ended up having to buy another one. Definitely recommend checking the sizing instructions twice before cutting. Other than that, solid chain and straightforward install.

I would no doubt have rated this product more than 1 star if I could have installed it on my bike using the materials included. The failure was in the quick link in that the the 2 pins on one side of the quick link were spread further than the hole in which they were to mate. See the pictures attached. The outside measurement of the pins is 16.24 mm and the outside measurement of the hole is 15.50 mm. And that .74 mm made all the difference There was no way I could mate the 2 sides to fasten the chain together. I tried every conceivable way to match them and tried to bend the pin side but the metal was to strong to even bend. If it wasn't that a year ago I bought from Amazon a bike chain repair kit I would have had to make a trip to a local bike shop and buy another chain and lose several days of bike riding. That repair kit I had came with extra quick link pieces which were manufactured correctly and allowed me to install this Shimano chain. So since the quick link that came with the chain was defective I can not recommend the purchase of this product and would recommend another manufacturer.

Chain fits perfectly, however the masterlink showed up completely bent out of shape. Thankfully I had spares, or I would’ve been screwed. Easy to install when you have a functional masterlink. Definitely worth it, aside from the masterlink issue.

Chain fit great. With a little help from You Tube I learned how to measure the length and remove the pin with the right tool. I just took my bike out for the first time and it was great!

So far so good. Packaging looks like the real thing and the price is good.

Habe diese Shimano Kette bereits zum 2.Mal gekauft (wechselte die Ketten so ca. nach 3.500 - 4.000 km). Alles funktioniert einwandfrei, günstiger Preis und auch das Anbringen der Kette geht dank eines speziellen Kettenglieds einfach von statten. Kaufempfehlung.

Kedja som verkar hålla bra som inte är rostbenägen, vilket billiga kedjor ofta är.

Aún no la instalo. Abrí el producto y tiene un poco de lubricante. En general se ve bien pero me dio la impresión de ser usada ya que al pasarle un trapo o papel limpio, se queda sucio de color negro como si fuese usada. La revisé con más detalle y no se ven marcas de desgaste por lo que puedo suponer que es por las propiedades del metal en reacción con el lubricante.
