Review on 🚲 Shimano CN-HG951-16 Unisex Bike Parts, One Size, Other by Josh Jeffries

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent, only with proper/careful installation

Chain has lasted me 6 months, 3000 miles. Great chain with smooth shifts. From now on I will only use XT level components. The ONLY problem is that the chain will break if the pin is not adjusted properly. A spare pen is no longer supplied. (I use 2 chains a year but install 3 times a year) If it doesn't break on my first commute it will last all the time. (Due to breakdowns I charge $25; NOT FULL RETAIL VALUE) Even my bike shop has this problem. (When they install it, they replace the pin if it's broken.) I load the chain hard (rider weight is about 50lbs more due to weight and backpack).

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Great
