KMC Bicycle Chain Speed 32 Inch Review

Installed a Shimano Mega Range freewheel on my Bronco bike with fat tires (Costco Special). The original chain was too short, this was just the right length without removing the links. You still need a chain breaker like the Park Tool CT-5 to remove the old chain. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000OYHCHG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The KMC network is considered an upgrade over department store bikes, better materials and manufacturing.

wrong product image *everywhere* online. Shown here is the original KMC Z51. It was brown. Today all updated models are sold as z51/z8.1 but you only get some versions of the new Z 8.1.

I used a chain wear tool first to see if it really needs replacing or just cleaning and lubricating. It had to be replaced. I was able to remove the rusty chain with a crowbar. I then measured the old chain against the new chain and noted where

Great bike chain, perfect fit for my bike. I made a few mistakes with the first one I bought, so I ended up buying another one and it worked. At the same time, it is not recommended to reuse the headpins already on the chain when cutting the chain. I reused the rivets and had no problems. What I do is, before I reinstall the other part of the chain, I put a drop of oil on the chain rivets, wipe off the excess, then carefully insert the rivet with a chain tool and reinstall to make sure the…
