SHIMANODeore HG53 114L GY Chain - Grey, 9 Speed

Exactly what was ordered, arrived quickly and it is now fitted to my old bike and working perfectly.

I always use these, replace them every two or three months. They work as well as I expect, although I'm no expert. The important thing is the price, which means I can afford to replace them as often as I do.

Great replacement chain, my chain broke on my bike, it was then I found out that chains can stretch and break, which was a new experience to me, I decided not to take it to the bike shop mainly because a lot of them are patronizing idiots, who seem to do as little as possible and charge you as much as possible.I looked into replacing the chain myself, and found instructions on you tube, I had to buy, some bits to do so, such as a chain tool, but realised that even paying out for those would still leave me quids in from a bike shop, anyway, the upshot is I replaced the chain and found my bike rides smoother than ever, and requires a lot less effort going up hill than before with my old stretched, worn out chain, so if your legs are hurting and pushing those peddles seem difficult, don't just keep adding lube, replace your chain it's worn out, and this chain, is as good as you can get.

I bought these for my Shimano Sora gearset. This chain is actually for the Deore and a couple of others - but as it was 9 speed and a great price, I thought it would be OK. Wow - really silent on the bike, and noticeably slick gearchange.I'd left the old chain on for too long, and stripped the lower cogs on the cassette, so didn't immediately feel the benefit of this chain, but now I've replaced the cassette it has been great. I've done only around 500 miles or so - but it is really solid.A new chain from the shop usually costs me around £50 fitted - so this was a real boost at this price !!

Brilliant! Very robust just as description described!

A link snapped due to heavy use so we used a quicklink

Shame it didn't come with split link, but when fitting a new chain you can almost guarantee the chain will come too long. Bit tough trying to get the pins out & back in but no issues. Can't go wrong, I recommend this.

Chain. What else I can say. To my untrained eye looked original and seems to be working fine.

buena compra de momento sin problemas por ahora, llego a tiempo y llega lo que se compra. viene engrasada y trae un perno para cuando se corte empalmar pero no trae engache rapido.

急遽必要になり購入しました。到着早く、取り付けも自分でできて助かりました！！ありがとうございます！！

Catena di buona qualità, buoni materiali, installata su mtb 3x7 dovendola accorciare un po. Silenziosa e scorrevole, prelubrificata. Prodotto consigliato.

Excellent shift quality and very smooth

Ich fahre schon seit vielen Jahren ein Rad mit einer Gangschaltung vom Typ "Shimano Nexave C500". Ich habe zwar schon gelegentlich über einen Neukauf nachgedacht, jedoch kam bisher keine der getesteten Schaltungen an die Qualität der Nexave heran; diese schaltet einfach butterweich, und ich kann auch bergauf problemlos die Gänge wechseln. Somit ging das Rad auch regelmäßig in die Werkstatt zur Wartung, jedoch wurde mir das jetzt etwas zu teuer, Heimwerken ist angesagt ;-)Hauptproblem beim Kettenwechsel war gar nicht der eigentliche Wechsel, sondern erst einmal herauszufinden, welche Kette in der mehr als 10 Jahre alten C500 verwendet wird. Schließlich benutzt die Schaltung eine 8-fach-Kasette, komischerweise aber eine 9-fach-Kette. Ein Vergleich beim Austausch der alten Kette zeigte aber, dass es sich tatsächlich um eine CN-HG53 handelte, nicht einmal die Länge der neuen Kette musste angepasst werden! Ein Kettenniet liegt der Kette bei, so war der Austausch mit einem Nietausdrücker in wenigen Minuten erledigt. Die Schaltung arbeitet wieder zuverlässig und nahezu unhörbar, so kenne ich das von meinem Rad! Die alte Kette hat bei mir mehr als 2000 km gehalten, der Preis (12,90 Euro) geht dafür wirklich in Ordnung!
