Strengths: Its actually a strong chain. Strength is the extent of its talents.
When removing it so that I could put it in the trash (with its peers), the horrid thing did manage to challenge the strength of a Park chain tool.
Maybe its good for a lightweight fixie?Weaknesses: Just don't plan on shifting unless you buy the R700 crankset or any full size Shimano double-ring crankset.
Causes rather horrible shifting due to the lack of refinements on the side plates.
Causes expenses.
Causes damage.
Causes cursing when trying to shift.
After 5 days of frustration I was seeing red. . . in exactly the color of SRAM Red. If Shimano keeps this up, they can kiss their market share goodbye.Bottom Line: Its a chain with a rather ugly brown coloring, high resistance to shifting on the front and not so smooth on the back either.
Favorite Ride: all over the midwest
Purchased At: with bike
Similar Products Used: Ultegra chain (somewhat better shifting)
SRAM chain (much better shifting)
Bike Setup: Today, just now, the last of the horrible 105 derailleurs, chain, cassette, etc. . system is gone and I can finally shift gears.
I kept the fantastic 105 shifters.
