Review on ZONKIE 5/6/7/8 Speed Bicycle Chain - 1/2 x 3/32 Inch with 122 Links by Paul Barnes

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Shot 3 times for Gear Components

I can see the ratings are very high for this chain which is why I decided to try this instead of Shimano. I found the chain a little light and unreliable, but installation was easy. At first the feeling wasn't smooth because I think it was new. I ride 15-20 miles everyday, uphill/downhill, hard running. Two weeks after installation, the chain burst on the climb. The pin is gone (not sure if the pin was broken or just came out. Anyway fixed with a quick connect. 2 weeks after the first incident it broke again on a flat road. Same as the first incident where the pin went missing (Not a fast link.) Fixed again.Catched up after a week on the climb.This time the pin was gone and the outside of the link was twisted/bent.I decided to give it up and bought a Shimano chain...
