Review on ๐Ÿšด ZONKIE Single-Speed Bike Chain - High-Quality 1/2 ร— 1/8 inch Bicycle Chain with 116 Links by Chris Quinto

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Basic Chinese Single Speed โ€‹โ€‹Chain

I've ridden a lot in 50 years so I've changed a lot of chains. Having only replaced my 10K Izumi chain with this 30 minutes ago I can't tell you how it will hold up. But I drove it the whole block and it passed with flying colors. All I needed for my single speed bike was a general purpose chain and the Chinese definitely have experience making general purpose chains. My only issue with the product was the plug. Zonki shows three parts on the back of the case, but only one is included in the box - exactly what other reviewers have reported. Luckily the 2 pin plate was included so I just attached it with 2 pieces of my old chain. Note that only the pins on the link are subject to wear, so I was ready to go. And even if all three pieces were missing, a little work with the chain tensioner would restore the chain. Basically, the Zonki chain doesn't convince me, but that's all good that ends well.

Pros
  • Cycling
Cons
  • Exorbitant Piggy Bank
