Review: A Great Choice at a Great Price - Great chain and fantastic price. For less than half of the price of a 1-1 replacement for the original Shimano on my Trek and with the very positive reviews of this chain I took a shot. I have it installed on my hybrid now and it took less than 15 minutes to remove the original, measure, remove the two links required from this KMC for my fit, put the Missing-Link together, install and test it out. Flawless solution. My original chain was stretched to the limit of tolerances within 700 miles and I hope this one lasts longer. I maintain my bikes and the chain is no exception. Testing this KMC (other than lots of riding) was to test the play any lateral 'looseness' of the chain and to measure the links. Tight feel and perfect measure. No tight links and it was well pre-lubricated as shipped. I did clean and degrease the chain and re-lubricated it with a wet ceramic which I use for my bikes. Now all that is left is a few hundred miles, regular maintenance and stretch testing. I highly recommend the KMC as a solution and will update this review when I have significant miles on it. My riding is training and long touring so the chain condition is very critical for me. I kept the Shimano as a spare after adding a KMC 'Missing-Link' to it for the panniers as my backup spare. Update: After some miles on the chain here is my update. Exactly as expected and smooth. Shifting went great and I needed few adjustments of the derailleurs to get this chain running well on my bike. I did have one oops moment when I first tested it on a ride. I had a constant whiz sound like a maladjusted front derailleur but that was not it. I had missed one slight hard to see guide on the rail derailleur and had the chain over it instead of under it. I had to pull the chain using the included 'missing-link' and it came off with ease. Re-threaded the chain correctly and it is silent as can be. Love this chain.
Review: High quality, high performance chain - I've had quite a few of these, which I use on a road bike with rack and fenders for my daily 13-mile commute, which has a couple of medium moderate hills and one short steep one, and during which I sometimes pick up groceries. Which is to say that there is some weight on this bike besides me (165 lbs.). Previously I had 2 SRAM chains that lasted 2000-3000 miles before stretching enough to need replacing; this one lasted a good 4000 miles. Shifting is crisp and excellent, I rarely if ever need to adjust even over 1000s of miles. BTW I live in a dry (Southern California coast) climate and for many years have used ProLink ProGold (https://www.desertcart.com/dp/B000VT2HKQ) to lubricate my chains. It is an excellent product that I highly recommend (as does my local bike shop). The KMC master link opens fine with a needle nose pliers (that is without a special pinching tool), but note that if you need to shorten the chain to match your current one, you'll need a rivet tool. And the silver looks nice, if you're into that kind of thing--even if it won't be so flashy after you've lubed it a few times.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Value for a Spare Chain!
*by J***E on April 21, 2026*

This is a great chain that is compatible with 9-speed bikes. Fortunately, I have not needed to replace my bike chain, but this one has a great appearance and looks to be a great fit for my bike.
