These are great 9 speed chains - great shifting, long lasting, and very anti-rust so stay looking shiny for ages. And only 10.99 from On One - so buy a couple for free postage.

Lovely job! Cheers
did anyone else find these chains uselessly short? 3 links too short on a fairly standard 1x9 setup on a 29er
Cheers, I could do with a new one 🙂
out of stock now
Not tried fitting mine yet, but I'll be dissapointed if they are short... nothing on the sales description to suggest they will be.
Will count links later...
I'm still on 8!
OOS now, doh!
I'm still on 8!
9spd chains work on 8spd cassettes
9spd chains work on 8spd bikes
9spd is narrower so not really!
long lasting
The one I bought lasted a massive 153km before it snapped. All riding on easy gravel paths, about as technical as an undulating canal towpath.
3 friends (of friends) bought them too. Of the 4, only one hasn't snapped in record quick time.
KMC has been crossed off my list for good. SRAM is about 50% more expensive, and each lasted ca.1400km of much more technical riding (Slovenia, Alps,...) before I changed it (and that was cos I felt like it, not cos it was worn).
9spd is narrower so not really!
yes, really.
ReggieGasket is right, they work just fine on 8speed. I have done about a billion miles on that particular configuration.
More impressed by this TBH :[url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/sram-pc971-9-speed-chain/rp-prod9873 ]SRAM PC971[/url]

Not that I'm tempted - I really like KMC X9-93
nice, but £3.50 postage on that
Thanks for that. Useful as we get to the time of year where chains wear a bit more.
Oh dear, mine is only 106 links long inc. the quick link 🙁
probably going back...
I thought these were a better buy.
