POOR quality control, buyers beware!

My device is badly damaged. The tension to sag ratio is insanely high and I can feel the chain tighten and bounce as I ride. It also caused my chain to come loose while driving, luckily I was able to pull myself together and stop easily. It was a scary situation and for that reason I would not recommend this brand or product to anyone looking to upgrade their chain. The material is also quite flexible and I think that also contributed to my problems. BUYERS ATTENTION.

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Nothing

Better than OEM performance, a little downside.

94mm/32t/8-10sp/5b Much better than I expected. This machine model is the only replacement for my old code set from the 90's. This model uses rivets instead of a stepped ramp. I have a feeling it actually works better than the OEM stamping. Unfortunately, one of the rivets falls too close to 1/5 of the bolts, resulting in a slight flex when the adjacent bolt is tightened. -- this may not be a problem for all sets. But I haven't noticed any issues for over 500 miles with lots of hills.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Unreliable

Serious chain suck with 48t x 130 BCD

I've never experienced "chain suck". I give my bike a thorough cleaning every week and once a month. I installed 48t x 130 BCD on my 9s drivetrain and immediately felt some sort of chain suck. I noticed that a certain tooth got caught in the chain. Not having much experience on the matter, I took it to the store for some ideas before doing anything drastic. In the end we filled the tooth just a little bit and the problem went away. 2 miles when I decided to sprint. I drove about 60 km and theโ€ฆ

It does what I bought it for.

It's hard to find a ring with 53 teeth and 110mm pitch so don't be too picky. However, this part is significantly thinner than the FSA ring it replaced and requires spacers to ensure there is no chain rubbing when the chain is on the small ring and some of the smaller teeth are on the hub. I'm sure it will be flexible, but I only use it on the trainer in the winter. When I get back on the road I'll be back on the FSA 50 cog - if I'm going so fast that I can't turn 50x11 I'll most likely end upโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Reliability

Defective and non-returnable

I was very happy to find and receive this chain. It was the right size and configuration for my 8 speed folding bike. Because of the operation, I couldn't come to the repair for a little over a month. When I installed the sprocket, the new chain kept falling off at the same spot on the sprocket. Upon further examination, I found that two of the teeth were short for some reason (see photo). I tried to return a Revain necklace but the return period was over 30 days. However, I was able to contact

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Some cons

Nice ring but something is missing.

This is a high quality chainring and one of the few alternatives for the 46T. The mesh is thicker than most original or non-original rings I've seen, but still works with 9s chains. It has built in ramps and pins for better shifting. The only thing missing is a chain pin that prevents the chain from falling between the crank and cross. UPDATE: I recently pulled the ring out while doing general maintenance. After cleaning the ring, I saw that the teeth were a bit worn; more than I would haveโ€ฆ

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Some bugs
