Extremely Durable Bought this almost a year ago as a replacement chain for my ’58 Raleigh Sports and I have yet to come across any defects. This thing is ridden in hilly Ann Arbor more than 60 miles a week during the school year. I oil it only occasionally and I admit that I’m not too good with routinely cleaning the chain (I think I’ve maybe done it twice? oops), but I have yet to notice any sort of stretching or excessive wear. For the price and what it is, I think it’s a very good chain and I’m about to buy…
If this is your first time replacing a chain, make sure to pick up a chain breaker tool! The cheapest 1/8-inch wide bike chain anywhere! If you’re not sure what width your current chain is, use a ruler to measure the space between the interior sets of plates on your chain. The common chain widths are 1/8 or 3/32 inches.

Running a 3/32 chain on gears designed for a wider 1/8 chain will result in very stiff operation.This…

Trying to connect bike chain links is HARD without the master link).So what do I like about this? Well, it was fairly easy to install. It was long enough for a 12″…
