Needed a strong replacement for front drive chain on tandem. Previous chains used tended to stretch quickly. The links on this chain look to be strong and also like the chrome/nickel finish. Had to purchase two and link together for extra length of front tandem chain.The linking pins are VERY hard to remove, broke two screw type chain tools and my old VAR plier tool would not budge the pin. I finally had to use a punch and hammer to remove the pin and ended up using 2 quick connects so I would not have to remove a 2nd pin.
So far I have had no stretch of this chain and plan on ordering a couple more to have as spares.

I installed this chain on a project bike. It seems pretty durable out of the box, but the factory lube isn't particularly tacky so I'm no sure how it will hold up. I don't like the "MissingLink" thing, it's easy to install but seems a little flimsy and does not lock together tightly like a SRAM chain. In a nutshell the price is great but it's OEM quality at best and not an upgrade. I would recommend it to a friend for what it is, but don't expect a gem here.

Comments about KMC X8.93 Chain:
used this when i changed out an entire drivetrain. the old chain was a KMC and lasted a couple years, so i got this one. it seems to be quite strong, runs smoothly, shifts well and not heavy.
master link is included for easy installation and easy cleaning.
i clean it before every wash, and lube it two or three times between washes.
i have a chain checker and keep tabs on it to cheak wear, but so far it looks like its going strong!

Comments about KMC X8.93 Chain:
Chain life can be argued. I tend to change out chains sooner than I probably should. I bought this chain to replace another model from the same company and this model was far better. It did the job as intended provided the proper maintenance.
