Works as well as Shimano HG chain at half the cost. For some reason Jenson has them cheaper than anyone else. EZ Link means you don't have to buy a $5 Shimano pin if you ever have to break the chain to replace derailleur or take it off the frame. However, like most modern chains, you can't add links back on without additional EZ links.
Using with vintage Deore LX drivetrain on a Trek 850.
Its cheap and it works great on my single speed with a stylo crankset. Dont spend too much money on chains for bikes where its not that important
Pros

Best Uses
I've used several of these now, and they're pretty trouble-free and shift well.
The wear life isn't up to Shimano's standards, the wear measurement fluctuates more along the chain's length oddly enough, but these give a good 2/3 of the life of a HG70 chain on the road bikes. I probably wouldn't chose this chain for the really severe off-road riding I do, since Shimano seems to be always more durable than the rest of the chains out there.
I first used this on a geared wally bike and it works well, haven't had problems with it. I recently bought this same chain for a single speed conversion. This chain fits perfectly onto the DMR STS chain tensioner which is also sold here at Jenson. Comes with a master link and it was stuck to the inside of the packaging. Didn't realize this after i had already shortened and installed the chain.
I bought this chain a few months ago to replace an aging and pretty stretched HG chain. I derailed the thing once and it twisted like a piece of aluminum foil. It's absolute junk. Spend a few more bucks for a better product.
