About Chains
A bicycle chain is a 'roller chain' that has the task of transferring power from the cranks to the rear wheel of the bike thus propelling it. Most bicycle chains are made from alloy steel, but some are chrome plated or stainless steel to prevent rust, or simply for good looks. Chains will vary in width depending on the amount of gears you have, most are 3/32 inch for use with geared systems and then come in 'speeds' which needs to matched to the cassette, ie a 10 speed cassette will need a 10 speed chain and so on. Track bikes or single speeds often run 1/8 inch rings so will need a 1/8 inch chain as well, these will have larger plates to aid stopping on a fixed wheel, which can add extra stress to a chain.
About the KMC brand
KMC produces 82 million chains a year and is a major supplier to Shimano who fit 10 spd chains which are also Campagnolo compatible. The latest KMC X series MTB chains feature Bulls eye pin riveting and X bridge outer plate configuration for quicker, quieter gear changing. Kool chain is well known amongst BMX and freestyle riders for its strength.

Excellent chain
I have now used KMC chains on all my bikes and have found them to be very quiet and slick to change gear. The X9.93 is lighter than Shimano XT chains and performs as well, if not better. The other great advantage is the quick link joining pin which makes fitting, removing and cleaning an absolute doddle. If these were not enough reasons to give KMC chains a go then the fact that they are normally cheaper than other leading brands like Shimano and SRAM should convince all. Try them and you will not be disappointed.

one of the best things you can do to revamp a tired drive train is replace the chain. Thic chain is great, much better than the stock shimano chain I was using. Crisp shifting and its so so quiet.

Best value for money chains
I've used other makes of chain in my xx years of cycling, and since the onset of 9-11 speed the KMC chains have always been the strongest. They have never snapped on me unlike another well known Italian brand.

Great chain
This chain is perfect for 9 speed systems. Maybe a tad heavy but durable.

I've looked and can't find any info, but do you need a mushrooming connecting pin (like you would with a shimano chain) when splitting and rejoining this chain? I'd imagine not, but the KMC website suggests that the pins mushroom out, which would be removed when you remove the pin.

All KMC Chains come with a powerlink.
Answer:
The chain comes with a magic link that you can install tool free. May need a chain breaked to reduce the length of the chain to suit your setup though. Don't throw that old chain yet but use it to measure the required length.

Answer:
This chain uses mushroom connecting pins to help stop stretching of the chain, this means the pins flare a little at the end to help keep the chain tight. You can reuse the exsisting pins when you break the chain aslong as you dont push the pins right out.

Answer:
Yes!1 year, 11 months ago
Answer:
The missing link is used as the final connecting link. You'll still need to get the right chain tension and this might mean shortening it with a chain tool. Once the right chain length is found the missing link is slipped in and the connection is made by hand. There's a knack to this but it's not difficult to pick up.Country : Norway

Yes, although if you need to shorten the chain you will need a chain tool.

Answer:
Yes. It's the same, and is operated in the same way as the SRAM item. You do need a chain splitter to get the chain to the right length on first installation tho, so I would question too-free installation. You'll also need a good quality chain splitter if you are altering the chain as the pins are Very tough to shift.2 years, 6 months ago
Answer:
Yes it is the same idea as the SRAM powerlink. KMC and Shimano links are interchangeable. But SRAM will only work with SRAM chains.

Answer:
Yes it will fit, but like all chains, you normally need to take out a few links to get the right length.Assuming the original chain is the correct length count the links & make the new chain the same length using a chain tool to pop out the relevant pin

Answer:
Yes3 years, 2 months ago
Answers
Answer:
You probably will need to take some links out of the chain so a rivet extractor would be recommended and required to remove and existing chain.How many links will depend on the setup you currently run. My advise would be if you are replacing and existing chain, break off existing using a rivet extractor and measure up the new chain to same size. Remove any excess links and install. The chain does come with one link for installation but having spares is worth it. I installed it and then realised it was wrapped around the frame the wrong way so needed to break off and start again. Spare links are really cheap and well worth having a few spare knocking around in the toolbox.

Normally you have to remove links before fitting.Measure the new chain against your old chain and remove links as necessary.Allow for the connecting link on the KMC chain,though else you will be a link too short!
