Fine all-round chain

- Robert S, 26 March, 2021

Second chain on my racer. Quiet and accurate shifting. Replaced in time when the chain starts to get noisier.

Pros & Cons

Less hard steel so less wear on cassette
Super quiet
Dark chain (no bling bling)
Needs replacing after 3000 km on average
Not the cheapest chain
