Great Winter Chain

This is a great winter chain. Will put Dura Ace back on when the weather gets better.

Thank you for your feedback.

Good value chain

I have used the 9 speed version of this chain as well. Both the 9 speed and the current 10 speed versions provided long life and good shifting when routinely cleaned and lubed.

Thank you for your feedback.

Works like a chain.

Quieter than the Ultegra chain which was quieter than my Sram chain on my 2011 Sram Red. Might weigh about 20grams more. Shifts as well as Ultrega, better than Sram.

Thank you for your feedback.

Good chain

i only have a few hundred miles on it, but so far so good. this is my 2nd KMC and i had good luck with the first one also. the magic link is nice, makes putting on a new chain a 'snap'.

excellent value, BTD was cheaper than Amazon also.

Thank you for your feedback.

Perfect relacement.

I am impressed. This chain is quite, looks good and up/downshift are perfect. I really like the master link, cleaning drive train just got easier. May look to their lighter version but this chain is pretty good.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great chain, problems with defective missing links.....

I've been using KMC chains for several years. KMC chains work well with all type of drive systems. They run nice and smooth and hold up well, although I change out my chains at 2000 miles. They are also a huge bargain with what is available in the ten speed chain market. My main beef is with the defective Missing Links. About 50% of them are defective. I think it is caused by the way they are packed. They are place in the box with the chains and I imagine after have a lot of stuff packed on top of them they get bent out of shape. Even with a non-defective ones they are difficult to install. You can go to Amazon.com an buy a card of 6 Missing Links for around $15.00. Although it would be helpul if biketiresdirect.com had them in stock. I pack a Wipperman Connex link in my seat bag for emergengies, however they don't work that well with the KMC chains.

Thank you for your feedback.

Wow...great chain

I switched to this chain from Wipperman. I have used ulterga, SRAM etc..

I used it for the first time on a 200k brevet. Silent and quick shifting. Seems to be a great choice for a balance of longevity and smoothness!

Thank you for your feedback.

Performs just as it should.

Put this on my Campy Record 10 speed drive train, replacing an expensive but worn out Wipperman chain. The KMC shifts like a dream, no negative issues that I can identify at all. I bought several thinking that if I wear out a SS Wipperman so quickly, that I am going to need to change chains pretty often and spending one third for the same life would be a no brainer. I guess winter riding here in the PNW is hard on chains with all the road grit and grime.

Thank you for your feedback.

Nice chain!

Got 4 of these chains from BTD because of the great price. Currently have about 700 miles on the one I installed. Very quiet and smooth. Pretty cool considering this year's harsh New England winter. I'm happy with their chase.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great chain roks with all drivetrain systems.

I was super pleased to find this product at BTD. With the connecting chain link, it makes it very easy to remove the chain for cleaning. Runs quiet and smooth on both Shimano and Campagnolo drivetrains. KMC is now my chain brand of choice.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great chain-have used for years.

I have found this chain to be just as good as any others and are a great value. I especially like that they have a connector instead of pins to connectdisconnect.

Happy with chain tho I do struggle a bit with master links in general but would not buy a chain without it.

Road biking for fitness. As noted I did struggle a bit with the master link but I have that problem anyway. Shifts nicely and is smooth pedaling. Good value. No downside for me and my cycling.

Thank you for your feedback.

It's a chain, it chains well

KMC chains now live on every bike in my stable. They do the job. I like the master link, most folks who have chain problems do so because of improperly installed pins these days. The master link removes this issue. These chains shift well, they run smoothly, and wear well. I got them on Dura Ace 10, 8, and 7 speeds, Rohloff, and fixed gear bikes. The price is reasonable in comparison to others.

Thank you for your feedback.

Good product.

I use this chain on all my 10sp road bikes. It works well with SRAM or Shimano components or with a mix of components. I also like the quick link. Price is reasonable too.

Great chain for the price.

I have several bikes so always keep extra chains on hand. These work well for both Shimano and Campagnolo drive trains. Can't beat the price.

Seems to work fine.

I replaced a KMC with this one and it seems to be just as good as the old one. I rode the other one during the winter with all sorts grime. I hope to be better at cleaning this one. Very quiet.
