I perform my own service on my road bikes so I'm always looking to save cost on top of the line products. That's why I never hesitate to purchase from WesternBikeWorks! The order process is easy, and WBW ships your products quickly. I highly recommend WBW for your cycling needs!

Used this to replace a KMC that just wasn't right, the KMC made noise on my Campy drivetrain, this chain is great, no more noise.

My old chain had about 7k miles and while I didn't think it was that worn, this new chain made a noticeable difference in lowering the noise.

Great chain equals great shifting, money well spent
Review by Danger Dave
When it comes time to replace my chain, I go between Dura-Ace and Ultegra depending on what's available at a good price. I have been extremely happy with both and wear seems to be about the same. Just keep it lubed (about every 300 miles) and wipe it down after every ride.

Good combination of reliability, performance and cost. Excellent chain at this price. And Shimano is finally on board with quick links.

One of those non-glamorous non-carbon parts that is so underrated but so essential. Shimano knows WTF they're doing, and this chain is perfect. Works slick with my Ultegra groupset.

My go to chain. It runs quieter, smoother and lasts longer. Hollow pins make it lighter as well.
Review by mtbiker
I use these chains on my road and mtb shimano equipped bikes. The Pin seems to work well, and I carry a master link in case of an emergency.

Durability not as long as Shimano Ultegra Chains. But prefer to use this as the rest of my bike has Dura Ace components. Lighter than Ulegra.

Oh-oh, what's a chain got to do, got to do with it?
What's a chain but a second-hand bike part?

Who needs a chain when a chain can be broken?
Get a Dura-Ace chain, it's butter smooth and won't break your heart.

I ride approximately 5,000 mi/yr and refit my mount with a Dura Ace 11sp chain at or around 3,000 miles. How do you not have confidence in Shimano? The rest of you can have Sram, Campy and KMC. I'll stay with ol' blue.

Its a chain, its Shimano Dura Ace, say no more. Always great prices and choices at WBW.

I've been using DA and Ultegra cassettes for 20 years. I typically use Ultegra on my trainer wheel and DA on my road wheel. The DA has outlasted the Ultegra by 21 year in and year out. With a matched DA chain I usually get about 4000 miles of road riding before replacing.

I love the new quick link - finally!
Review by Murphdog
I purchased the 11-speed chain for future use due to the price being GREAT. Unknown about having to use a special tool that I've may have read about or not. This is my first 11-speed and all my other bikes have 10-speed Dura-Ace or Ultegra components and I'm happy with them.

Being a avid Shimano fan, this chain does not disappoint. The chain just feels smooth and shifts easily
