Shimano CN-6600 Ultegra 10-Speed Chain Review

Shimano CN-6600 Ultegra 10-Speed Chain
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've used the CN-6600 chains for a long time and have always been pleased with their performance. However, on my rebuilt bike the new CN-6700 chain was installed. @ about 1,000 miles for no apparent reason a stiff link developed. In IMHO the bike comapnies are pushing the envelope toooooo far. Cutting the sides out of the plates of the links and hollow pins to make the chain a bit lighter. While the 6700 chain is asymetrical and supposed to shift better...I notice no difffrence in shifting from the excellent 6600 model. So as long as I can get my hands on the 6600 that's the chain I'll use. I ride about 6,000 miles a year and change chains every 2.000 miles.

Provides smooth, reliable shifting when used with either Dura-Ace or Ultegra or 105 10 speed drivetrains. Plus, its competitively lightweight too.

KMC Z50 Bicycle Chain (7-Speed, 1/2 x 3/32-Inch, 116L, Black) Review

I installed this chain on my Trek 820 mountainbike on Feb 4 (2009); on May 28, I put my bike in the shop for occasional chain-skipping, especially on the 1st and 2nd chainrings. The shop expert told me the chain was stretched and couldn't believe it was only in use for a few months. Since I have other bikes, I logged less than 500 miles on this chain. Even though the price was very low, I don't think the chain is worth buying, given its short lifetime. Next time I'll spend $15-$20 and get a better quality chain; a stretched chain can quickly damage your chainrings - so think twice before buying the least expensive chain.

Shimano Ultegra SL Road Bicycle Front Derailleur - FD-6600G Review

Product is good. Be careful if your cable comes out from a hole in the seat post like mine. Had fitment issue because of this. Had to use another FD series to fit my tri-frame. If your cable runs from below and outside the seatpost, then should be no issue

Shimano 105 CN-5600 Chain Review

Shimano 105 CN-5600 Chain
Average Reviews:

It's a 10-speed chain, and it works. 'nuff said. The only complaint is that it comes with a single master link pin rather than two (these used to come with two). Since breaking the master link significantly weakens the chain (especially on 10-speed chains), you need to hope that you do it right the first time and you never have to break the chain open for maintenance. Would have no complaints had they just thrown a second master link pin in here...
