Review on 🚲 Enhanced Performance: Bell Links Replacement Bike Chains for Optimal Riding Experience by Francisco Taylor

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good chain - needs some patience to install (can be done by someone with limited repair/mechanics knowledge)

I bought this chain for a bargain Mongoose MB. The old chain was rusty and lifted a little at every turn. The chain fits perfectly, does not need to be shortened. I bought this chain because it's a bell and I don't want to use an unbranded chain that will likely break or wear out quickly. The packaging was hard plastic and even came with (limited) instructions. The chain was lightly oiled and looked well made. The only (minor) problem is that the locking mechanism is quite difficult to control. It took me a while to install (literally half an hour), but as the instructions say, there is an audible click when it's in place. I found it easiest to clip the clevis onto the top chainring (behind the pedal) so that the lettering on the clevis is visible and right side up. Don't be afraid to manipulate the chain. If the chain is too tight, you should not use it. Let's say this is your first chain change and you have to watch tons of YouTube videos on how to do it right. It's pretty easy, but it takes patience. Once the chain was installed, the bike rode very smoothly.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Safety
