5 / 5

Reliable product, but check that you have the right length.

- Ralph 6 May 2025

Apparently, this is a very long chain and for road bikes you need the shortest as standard (116 links). Luckily, a colleague had one of those chain punches to take out some links. After this, with the supplied quick link I was able to fix it quickly and properly, nice and tight chain!

Pros & Cons

Quick link included
Reliable
Was too long for road bike, but can be shortened

Chains have become far too expensive in recent years

- Henk 17 May 2024

lots of experience with 11 speed variant, lasts at least 50% longer than 7100 variant, so in that sense a good purchase I think With this12 speed this remains to be seen, 7100 was already worn out after ca.4000 km with wax, after measurement
