Summary:
I have been using Sram 9 speed chains for years. The 10 speed leaves something to be desired. The connecting pin is not well made. It went on well sort of and then would not fit correctly causing the chain to skip. Had to use the chain remover to get the pos of the bike. It will be replaced with Campy soon.

Strengths:
None.

Weaknesses:
Installation

Summary:
I had this chain on my 09 Giant adv 1 w/sram force. It worked okay but is very noisy and clunky when shifting. The bike is not even 4 months old and a pin just broke right in the middle of a ride while shifting! I have replaced it with a dura ace chain-no noise and smoother. Maybe new chain for red group is better?

Strengths:
finish looks nice

Weaknesses:
questionable durability. Noisy and clunky when shifting.

Favorite Ride:
encinitas

Bike Setup:
S works zero gravity

Summary:
Well first off the dura ace chain, excuse the pun. I checked the stretch on this so called Dura ace chain and stretch is an understatement. The chain became half an entire link longer, ya scarry. So it was time for a chain-ge. The pc1090 went on and the shifting again was at sram level. Teamed with the sram red cassette it feels like a $7000.00 S works. The chain is smoooth and fast, the lube also appears to hold well. Seriously Shimano dont live on your past, get with the sram ages.

Strengths:
light strong and engineered to take a beating. Actually made in a European nation.

Weaknesses:
Cost but hey I didn't pay for the chain.

Similar Products Used:
Dura Ace, or Dura Joke whatever. Chinese steel Japanese factory still equals Chinese steel.

Favorite Ride:
all over the midwest

Bike Setup:
Its now got a SRAM cassette and chain. And its got an Ultegra rear derailleur, an FSA Energy front derailleur and R700 shifters.
OH, and the SRAM parts helped it a lot!!

Summary:
What a relief!! I can finally shift gears. This is a very helpful chain!
I actually used the PC-1070 (Rival series) chain.

Strengths:
It got rid of that Shimano 105 shift problem! It was easy to install.

Weaknesses:
Lack of informational materials and comparitive reviews.
Lack of directions for the orientation of the powerlink. Its a 50/50 guess, but, fortunately, I guessed right because my 11t cog does NOT skip.

Similar Products Used:
Shimano 105 chain (horrible shifting)
