Strengths: Price
Quick removal link for easy maintenance.Weaknesses: Squeaky
Needs constant maintenance
Quick link WILL NOT run across an 11 tooth cog without tripping
Will not work with parrafin lubes, making it a greasy mess.Bottom Line: I thought the price was appealing, so I gave it a shot when my shop rain out of 10S1s. I had the same experience as others here. It will not work on an 11 tooth cog (the quick link is the culprit). It needs tons of maintenance, I had to scrub it with degreaser and a toothbrush every 200 miles, and then use an oddball oil lube that made a big mess. I'll go back to the Wipperman 10S1 and T9 lube and never look back.

Strengths: Quite light
Easy to maintain
Runs quiet for first 500miWeaknesses: Very inflexible
Low lifespanBottom Line: This chain is junk. If you can get one for super cheap, then by all means. This bad boy is pretty inflexible, so it shifts like a brick, and then, right when you begin asking yourself why you didn't stick with that lovely DA stuff, you find it's stretched to .75, and replace it anyway. Oh well, stick to wheels, Mavic.

Strengths: don't seem to be anyWeaknesses: won't last very longBottom Line: This review is for the Mavic Nickel plated 10 speed chain (made by Wipperman).
Used chain for about one month (1000 miles). Chain worked great up until about 900 miles when it started jumping in my 11. By the way I changed the cassette at the same time. I’m very disappointed in the performance of this chain. I was hoping to get around 3000 miles out of it. Replaced it with a stainless Wipperman, laid the two out to get a measurement so that I could get the right length on the new one. At that time I noticed that the Mavic chain had stretched about a third of one link over the length of the chain. Would not recommend this chain to someone that rides a lot of miles.
Favorite Ride: Any time its dry

Strengths: Price, Connex link makes it easy to remove your chain. Kinda tricky to install the first time around. But once you have the hang of it, it's a no brainer.Weaknesses: Does not last long. I heard bad stuff about the Wipperman nickel chain (one and the same). Safe your money.Bottom Line: This review is for the Mavic Nickel plated 10 speed chain (made by Wipperman).
Bad luck with this chain. It worked well until it had about 600 miles then it started to jump around and shift funny.
It's teflon coated so when the teflon wears off it does'nt run as smooth.
I pulled it off and replaced it with a Wipperman stainless steel 10 (they did not have any in stock so I went with a Mavic). The stainless steel is a better chain.
Favorite Ride: Anytime it's dry
