Silent Sam
This chain is silent in transmission. It shifts silently and quickly, both up and down the rear cogs. As a six speed chain, it is designed for a single chain-wheel crank set. It fitted the circuit perfectly.
I have one severe criticism of the "false link" chain connector supplied with my example. It was badly made and could not be inserted into the chain ends without aggressive modification. I used a hammer and chisel on a flat, hard surface to change the profile of the pinned plate. I do not believe this was a genuine Shimano part. See photo. It doesn’t resemble anything in the Shimano range. I might buy a pair of the correct connectors, fit one and stow the spare inside the handle bar.Read full review

Good quality but some reservations.
Good quality chain with problems. Quick link which is a Shimano idea was very difficult to install. I ended up leaving it out and used my riveter to join the chain. Also, the supplier did not process the order as promptly as I would expect even though I elected to use premium post (extra cost of course). It was posted 3 days after order placement. If you want it quick, buy local!Read full review

Decent high quality chain
It is a shame the Shimano do not supply a reusable quick link for these chains, they either come with a pin or one time usable link. Sram do market a suitable link. Otherwise, these are generally very decent chains that last well and change well. I am sure these will be the same standard, I have yet to use of course.Read full review

Peace Restored
Had only just fit a KMC chain and a Shimano Cassette...
But it was noisy . The HG71 chain does not look as impressive as the KMC and the Quicklink is a pain compared to the KMC Missing Link... But peace has been restored,, whisper quiet again. Not sure why this happens,, the internet has divided opinion on the matter.Read full review

Great Chain
It's supposed to fit old bikes, but I have found this chain to outlast more contemporary chains on my road bike. Quality product.
