Shimano Chain
Pros: Durable, High Quality
"I used a Shimano chain on my Scott MC10 mountain bike. I replaced like for like as the original one lasted a very long time and clocked up lots of miles!
The chain is excellent, not too heavy and well made."

Great value
Pros: Durable, Good Fit, Great Value, High Quality, Lightweight, Rugged
"Great value for what you get. I bought 2!
This way, I can swap them around and extend the life of the whole drive train.
Wiggle continue to amaze me with their prices and free shippng to Australia. I am paying almost 1/3 of what I would pay in store (and it arrives on my doorstep!).
Love your work."

"I bought this chain as a replacement for a Dura Ace chain which had worn out , so far the only difference I can see is that the Dura Ace is a bit lighter , this chain performs just as well shifing and riding a Dura Ace cassette."

Great chain
Pros: High Quality, Lightweight
"I bought this chain as part of a complete rear upgrade. It's a slimmer chain than my previous one. It'll change to the right gear and transfer power from the chainring to the cassette. So it works!!"

Shimano HG73
Pros: Durable, High Quality, Rugged
Cons: Expensive
"Works really well for making your back wheel turn when you pedal the bike!
Solid, quality construction and long-lasting.
Beware trying to change your chain without doing the cassette at the same time. If they have been used for any length of time (even under a year) they need to be changed together or a mismatched combo will skip."

500 Miles
Pros: Durable
Cons: may need adjustment for length straight out of bag
"Read a lot about this being not a very good chain but I abused my old one (around 8,000 miles) so replaced it with the same and It does the job!
Got about 500 miles on it now since April nearly all of which has been hills (up to 20%) and fast flats with no problems.
Justa quick note to all those who are buying for first time - make sure you adjust to the right length before using the lock pin as once on you can't adjust."
