Works great

Installs easily and works great, shifts are smooth. I change my chain when the chain tool says to, and I don't really notice a difference except that everything keeps working.

Thank you for your feedback.

High quality and durable

These chains never fail to exceed its expectations. Tried all the others but always came back to these.

Thank you for your feedback.

Smooth and quiet

I learned the hard way that 10 speed chains need more frequent cleaning than ancient 5 & 6 speed chains AND that you MUST read the manual. You must not break the chain and reuse the pin as we did years ago. That said - what a relief to return to quiet reliable shifting. From the amount of stretch over the past 900 miles on the identical chain I'm going to guess that I'll get about 2500 miles before replacing it with the chain I just bought.

Thank you for your feedback.

Road bike chain

I purchased this for the price was right and sticking with Shimano ultegra items with ultegra gears only makes sense for they fit well together.

No noticeable difference or problems

Thank you for your feedback.

Confusing Shimano marketing strategy

It seems like there is no longer a Shimano CN-7901 10-Speed Chain available for purchase. When I received this chain the box states its for Dura-Ace, Ultegra and 105 10-Speed drive trains. Its a bit confusing but the price on the so called Ultegra chain is affordable. I guess I can now just replace my chain more often. My bigger concern is that Shimano apparently is abandoning continued 10-Speed component support.

Thank you for your feedback.

Works nice and smooth

This has a single pin closure and if the length is wrong you have to punch out links but there is no link to re-attach.

Thank you for your feedback.

Best Multi purpose Chain.

I use this chain with my 2 bikes with RotorQ Rings rings as well as one with Di2. Of all the chains I used this one shift the best and last the longest.

Thank you for your feedback.

Does the job- order came quickly

Works great- obviously a little heavier that a Dura Ace chain, but great bang for the buck.

Thank you for your feedback.

It's a good chain

Like most (all?) Shimano Ultegra products, it strikes a good price/performance balance.

These ultegras last long and are a much better value than the dura-ace version.
