Sram PC971 Chain

Great value for money for a great product

I always go for SRAM. They are just high quality, rock solid chains and the PowerLink makes fitting them a doddle.I didn't really appreciated the reliability until I used a different brand that I had lying around. The other brand (German!) failed with a link snapping after about 5 months of winter riding, but I have NEVER had a SRAM chain fail on me.I don't know if I could tell the difference between the 971 and the model down, but the price difference isn't huge given how long they last.SRAM chains are made in Portugal, which is great news if you are trying to avoid certain less ethical countries.

Great performance.good delivery. Easy to use and fit.

Nice chain but why do they come covered in sticky grease? If you put it on as it comes it will be like a dust magnet, and all the dust and grit will wear it fast. I clean them in petrol to remove the grease and then carefully apply a high quality dry lube before fitting it to the bike.

In my opinion, Sachs (Sram) make the best chains. Shimano drive chain components are about the best - except their chains. Hence, I always use SRAM for compatibility with all drive chain products - Shimano, Race Face, etc. Strong, good value for money with an easy connecting link.

Good quality from a known brand. Easy to fit. Reasoable price. No complaints.

Chain snapped within 2 months of regular commuting use. Had been cleaned and lubed according to my usual schedule, every 2-3 weeks...

Nice product. It looks robust and did fit well with no issues.

Viene bien cerrado en su blíster e incluye su conector powerlink. Estoy muy satisfecho.

Everything good and working well

Kette mit guten Lauf- und Schalteigenschaften. Toll zu montieren mit vorhandenem Kettenschloss und die Länge der Kette passt. Gutes Preisleistungsverhältnis

Chaine de bonne qualité, elle parait solide et bien fabriquée, à voir sur la durée. Elle arrive un peu graissée, mais je recommande de rajouter de la graisse dès le premier jour pour éviter les problèmes ultérieurs.Le montage est très facile avec le maillon fourni pour la fermeture de la chaine.

No doubt this is a great choice in bike chains. Would not for a min. Hesitate in recommending as a great replacement chain . Just a quick note you may want to concider. Like most of you I try my best to get the most from my investment. Lots of expensive fancy lubes. Special chain cleaning machines and the end result is the chains seemed to wear out rather quickley. Here is what I discovered. Once you add oil to you chain problems begin. 2 seconds into your ride that fancy lube changes from a lube to a very efficient lapping compound. The dust and grit begin the fast process of grinding your new chain to a quick death. Even the so called dry lubes are not much better. What I now do is super simple, inexpensive and tripled the expected life of the chain. Plus no more oil on the pant legs all components stay clean and shifting is greatly improved. Couple of blocks of Parrifin canning wax melted in a pot. Soak the chain. Hang and let cool and install. Simple. Using a park chain gauge I can not believe how much longer these great chains last. Best of all no more mess. Check Youtube for videos on how to wax.
