Review on Upgrade your Ride with Shimano Bike Chain CN-HG40: 116L 8-Speed Powerhouse! by Mohamed Greene

Revainrating 1 out of 5

A quick link doesn't hold at all!

The chain is easy to assemble if you follow the instructions. The chain shifts quickly and quietly, but the fast link is weak. I've ridden less than 250 miles without chain tension and the part of the quick release that contains the pins has broken (see picture). If you purchase this chain, make sure you have a compatible spare quick link and chain link pliers when you ride. My one star rating is for durability only!

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • A newer model could have been selected
