    The best bike chains ever.

    KMC X type chains are exactly what I want. These chains are tapered on the sides to allow perfect operation with any HG style freewheel & cassette sprockets. They're non-directional. So, just put them on. They have the quick link. They're affordable. Excellent stuff.

  • Top critical review

    Inferior product, I do not recommend.

    This chain lasted less than 1 month on my commuter bike. I ride less than 5 miles a day to and from the bus various bus stops, work, shopping and home. During this short time it has twisted itself into a spiral. It was replacing a chain that had lasted for more than 3 years of almost daily usage and had just started to measurably stretch. This chain is obviously made of inferior material and would not recommend it to any one. Steer well clear of this product. I wouldn't give it any stars of rating but the review wouldn't let me leave it blank.

  • Excellent Chain for Bikes that have 5,6,7,8 Freewheel or Cassette Cogs.

    KMC X8.99 Chain is an Excellent Chain for bikes which do Not require a 10 or 11 Speed Chain or a 1/8 inch chain ( some Fixed / Single Speed bikes ). It is smooth shifting on my Suntour Microdrive 7 speed cassette on my Mtn Bike. Easy to remove extra links and to install with a good chain tool.

  • Great look and EASY to install

    I bought this for my mountain bike and it looks great and the quick link is very easy to use! I also bought a Shimano black chain for my wife's mountain bike for a comparison and the quick link was VERY difficult to install compared to the KMC brand. I highly recommend this chain for it's function, look and ease of installation!

  • Fabulous Replacement for Stock Chain

    The chain on my new Dahon Mariner 7 had some sort of aluminum-like coating that quckly became unsightly as it began wearing away. I put nickel plated chains on all my new bikes, so finding this new, very affordable source of KMC chains is just what I have been seeking for several years.

  • Buy this chain if you don't want it to rust and don't have to shorten it.

    This is a great chain, it is somewhat Rush resistant I use White Lightning paraffin base lubricant on it. The downside is the rivets are installed as though she cannot shorten it. That's the only downfall. Very quiet and smooth running.

  • Best Bang for the Buck

    This is an excellent chain, and the best value for the money. I love KMC bike chains. They are long wearing, and I've never had one break on me.

  • My go to chain for all my bike builds

    I use KMC x8 chains on all my builds from 6 to 8 speed…smooth and quiet shifting, good longevity, my favorite chains. Obviously x9 on 9 speed drive trains…beyond 9, I don’t need all them extra gears 😉

  • KMC X8

    KMC is a high-quality chain manufacturer. Combined with the nickel finish to resist corrosion/rusting it makes for a long lasting & good-looking chain. Shifts smoothly.
