Red 22 Chain - 11-Speed, 114 Links, Silver | bike-chains

Chain quality A+

I'll give it 5 stars for shifting and quietness. Was installed on my new SRAM eTap drivetrain. I have found that with eTap there is a tendency to shift more frequently and there is less reason to soft pedal when shifting. This may lead to wearing out a chain a little faster than normal especially if you live in the mountains which I do. The first chain wore out at about 1500 miles. Most claim this is normal but when I had SRAM 10 drivetrain I usually got a litte more milage. Over all it's a good upgrade over 10 speed and the price here is as good as you are going to get.

The SRAM Red 22 is the only chain I use on my Madone and Domane SLR bikes. It is reliable and durable, providing quick and uniform shifting with my etap systems.

Sram chains are well designed, reliable and easy to remove and install because of the "flow link". It is best to have the chain tool that sets and releases this link. Removal and installation become a breeze. Sram has generally become the standard to follow. At "73", I have been installing bicycle chains for at least 60 years. Sram offers many selections in materials, designs and price. Pick one-you can't go wrong.

This replaced the Force22 (PC-1170) chain that came with my full Force22 group after ~5k miles. I cannot believe how completely silent this new chain is—I think it's quieter than the first time I rode the group when I got my bike! All I can hear now are my tires gripping the road. With everything tuned correctly it shifts like butter and is just completely silent (did I mention that already?). Totally worth the $10 over the Force level chain. The quick link can be tricky to both remove and install, but no big deal. I removed two full links to fit my 53/39, 11-28 drivetrain.

I bought this to upgrade to an 11-speed drivetrain. It's being used on a 10-speed chain ring, which doesn't seem to slow it down. Fortunately, I checked out the installation instructions online. Otherwise, I wouldn't have know about making sure the removable link's arrow needed to point at the direction of chain travel. This might be in the included instructions, but I'm putting it out there as a reminder.

Very good product. I had no problems.

Installed on a force 22 groupo that used to have a KMC chain on it, but was starting to wear after 4K miles. Now it shifts better than it ever did with this new chain. The only minor issue is that darn cosmoline coating on it - before you wipe it down & lube it up, it's more like a strip of fly paper than a bike chain.

Chain runs whisper-quiet and produces very slick and buttery-smooth gear changes. I've also had zero chain drops since switching to these chains, whereas I used to get frequent chain drops previously. Durability is great, I think you're only meant to get 4000km of life out of them but I've been running mine far longer than that and there is still minimum chain stretch according to the chain wear gauge that I use. This has to be by far the best 11-speed chain on the market.

Ich habe diese SRAM Red Kette als neues Produkt bei Amazon gekauft und in der Orientalen SRAM Verpackung lag eine FSA Kette drinnen! Bei Lieferung daher genau schauen, ob auch die Bestellte SRAM Kette mit Hollow Pins geliefert wird! Nun zum Produkt: Die Ersatz Kette, nun auch wirklich die SRAM Red Kette mit SRAM UND PC RED22 Aufdruck macht einen guten ersten Eindruck und der Power Link (auch als Quick-Link bekannt) funktioniert auch einwandfrei mit dem richtigen Werkzeug!

Aussi légère que d'autres chaînes (Yaban, par exemple) et d'un prix équivalent. Permet des changements de plateaux (SRAM 53/39) instantanés.

Niente da dire, la qualità si paga, scelta perché già collaudata, catena robusta e duratura, non va bene per chi vuole risparmiare il grammo

Works great
