    Strengths:    smooth shifting

    Weaknesses:    doesn't last very long

    Bottom Line:   
    very good chain, it shifts better than the Sahcs chains but I feel the Sach chain last longer. I get twice the mileage out of them, but the Shimano chain shifts better and is smoother.

    Strengths:    With proper lubrication, the chain has stayed smooth and clean. Little wear and easy to clean.

    Weaknesses:    After 2500 I'll have it looked at and see the overall wear. Plan to take it off the bike after 1500-2000 for a through cleaning.

    Bottom Line:   
    So far, no complaints. It holds the lubrication and have not had any problems when shifting. Once the derailleurs are properly adjusted, the chain shifts smoothly and accurately.

    Strengths:    Shifts well.
    Very durable.

    Weaknesses:    It would be nice if Shimano had it's own version of the Sram Powerlink. The need for a special pin is a minor annoyance.

    Bottom Line:   
    The shifting is as good as it gets, and the chain wear is only .25% (effectively no wear) after 1400 miles. I have the same chain on a mountain bike and it's been equally impressive, both in performance and wear.

    Strengths:    Works as expected, no complaint for over 6000miles.

    Weaknesses:    Not as nice looking as the DuraAce, but after it get's dirty who cares

    Bottom Line:   
    Better value than DuraAce, but I'll most likely replace with DuraAce to give it a try.

    Strengths:    smooth crisp shifts I am using it on a triple with a 12-27 cog and have not missed a shift yet. It is heavier than the dura ace chain but is very durable.

    Weaknesses:    none noted

    Bottom Line:   
    The hg 92 is a great chain. It works excellently in the ultegra system. Very smooth precise shifts. I am using the chain on a triple set up with a 12-27 cogset, the largest available and the chain still shifts smoothly under load on hills. Excellent value for the money.
