Chain does what it is supposed to do.

- Erik 24 May 2026

Chain easy to mount. Just be careful to take the right link when shortening it, otherwise you won't be able to fit speedlink. Otherwise, the chain rides very tight and shifts smoothly

Pros & Cons

easy to assemble with speedlink
Fine chain
Automatic translation
