It's a bike chain and with a 7.3mm pin length it has good gear changing properties especially when married to a Shimano gear train. Bike chains are an enigma They are made out of metal and so there has to be a compromise between metal hard wearing properties and flexibility. Oil is also an enigma It has to be fluid enough to try to run back into the spaces that the Gear Train and Sprocket teeth made when in contact with the bike chain rollers creating wear and not too sticky that all debris sticks to it creating an effective grinding paste. Oil has one redeeming quality it slows down the oxidisation of the metal (rusting) and it is this property that has more to protecting a bike chain from wear than anything else. Hope this is of assistance.

Good quality chain BUT the Shimano snap joining link is terrible. There are so many forum posts on the internet so its not just me having problems. It took TWO of us 10 minutes to get it fitted, brute force and ignorance and water pump pliers won the day, the Shimano instructions are not helpfull apart from telling you which bit faces out.

The chain is of good quality , works great on my ageing MTB which i am refurbishing , seems to move through the gears with a smooth motion , my only little gripe was the connecting link was a little bit fiddley too get on .
