Q: Can someone who OWNS this chain measure the width of the pin and the width of the plates (width across plates between pins) with a caliper or Micrometer and let me know the dimensions?

ALL MEASUREMENTS ARE IN INCHES AT ROOM TEMP +/- 0.001 INCHOUTER PLATES RANGE 0.26 to 0.29 INNER PLATE WIDTH (nominal: 3/32" OR 0.09375 ): range 0.0905 to 0.095PIN LENGTH (nominal 7.3mm 0.28762) : 0.283 PIN WIDTH (DIAMETER): 0.148 -so...what is the problem?? browjo@bigpond.com

Q: Does this come with a connecting pin, chain link or is that extra?

comes with a Masterlink which will connect the 2 ends. Pretty easy, best if you use a set of needle nose pliers or any pliers pretty much. Make sure you match the length to your present chain and remove or add links as required, if this is your case you need a good quality chain breaker/riveter. On some of these KMC chains even though lighter appearing don't be deceived, the pins are tight and I have broken the cheapee LBS chain breakers. On one of the hollow pin KMC chains, which I Love and use almost exclusively, I even broke one of the small pocket ParkTool chain breakers. These things are well built. Hope this helps...Good Luck..Mo

Q: For my 7 speed mountain bike should i use this chain(kmc x8.99) or sram pc 870. which is better?

The KMC X8.99 chain has all the inner and outer links nickel plated whereas the SRAM pc 870 is only chrome plated on the outer links, so the KMC chain is less likely to rust and looks much better on your bike.
