Customer Reviews

Shimano HG40 6 /7/8 Speed Chain is rated 4.1 out of 5 by 116.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from fitted to a kids 7 speed bike Perfect replacement, I removed a few links to stop the chain from falling off. Very pleased with it.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Recommended but....quick release link no use Ok, I have no doubt that this chain is high quality and will serve well. My 'but' is about the quick release link included. It was impossible to fit and we resorted to simply reconnecting the chain with a good old fashioned (Shimano) connector pin. The instructions indicate the final clip is pressed on with both thumbs, and yes we had the clip the right way round, but there was no way it went on by thumb and it even would not go on with pliers. So it went in the bin. I was working with a friend with a full bike maintenance toolkit so he did know what he was doing, so it wasnt me being a muggle.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good quality Always purchase this make and so far it has lasted considerable miles so far have completed over 1000 miles found that if I look after and clean the chain frequently is seems to be very good value for money, cycle in all weather mainly wet conditions.

Q & A

How does the connecting link work?

I've purchased this chain and it doesn't seem to come with any instructions. I've not managed to find any documentation or guidance online either (including Shimano's website). I'm having problems fitting the connecting link (one part is a plate with 2 pins and the other part is a link with a wider entrance on one side which allows for the insertion of one pin, the rest of the link is too narrow to insert the second pin.) Would someone be able to either: 1. point me to the instructions; or 2. tell me how the connecting link connects?
Asked by: Johnmajor
After a lot of searching on the internet I think you are supposed to somehow bend the chain. I certainly failed to do this and just did it the old fashioned way, although I believe this is not advised. Ridiculous that there are no instructions.

Do I need to buy Chain Pins as well?

Does this come with the Chain Pin or do I need to purchase this separately?
Asked by: JHONDA
it comes with a link - not a pin but is very easily used with a little bending force - no tools required.

Is the quicklink removable??

Hi, I installed this chain (incorrectly) yesterday. I was trying to break the quick link but could not undo it. Is it possible to actually open this quicklink that comes with the HG40? The quicklink I got was the two piece system, with both pins on one link and a flat plate for the other. If not is it ok to remove pins using a normal chain tool? Cheers
Asked by: Raaab
The link supplied is not removable. It is fine to remove links using a chain tool.

Suitable for shimano tiagra?

Please can you tell me if this is suitable for 8 speed shimano tiagra groupset (my bike is a specialized allez) Thanks
Asked by: B164
This should match up with your 8 speed Shimano Tiagra setup.

5 speed chain

I have a new Shimano 5 speed 14 - 24T freewheel on my Eroica bike (120mm chain stay spacing). The model freewheel is Shimano Cadet SPKA 61 (it has twisted teeth). I am looking for a quality chain to fit.
Asked by: Mountaindancer
It will most likely fit - I previously used a 6 speed freewheel with this chain. However, its not the best quality of lifetime - look to Regina type ones for that. That said, it is low cost and doesn't do any harm to replace more often
