Shimano HG-71 Bicycle Chains CN-HG71 Bike Chain HG71 6 7 8 Speed ICNHG71116I

Nice upgrade to my bike. Quality, strenth and function that is expected from Shimano!! Perfect!!!

It appears to be a good quality product.

So far, works well on my 11 speed bike. Put 30 mile on this chain (and new cassette) yesterday. Easy to install. Easy to clean.

I used 3 different chains, one of them was A bell chain purchased from a local store, and they all had one thing in common, teeth jumping or skipping and to the point that bycicle riding became a daily nightmare. With this chain the issue was resolved and pedaling and shifting gears is smooth and easy. It does not come with a master link but to me this is not an issue, the chain length was perfect, I didn't have to remove any links for adjustments.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:It’s a reliable chain, just be sure to install the connector pin correctly…

Cleaned Chain with Simple Green and brush and then applied dry lube. Runs great and looks Shinny. Easy to install as long as you match the links to your Bike Chain requirements during installation. I did put a Master link on this chain not easy but doable.

Recomendado

Specs say it is stainless steel, which is good, as the one I removed off my Trek bike was not and was rusting pretty badly from lack of lube. Instructions said not to lube the chain after install. It appeared to have a fairly nice oil coating on it. New chain was 2 links to long so I removed them and after watching a couple videos on YouTube, was able to get the new one installed properly. I would recommend.
