Product ReviewsShimano CN-HG40 Tourney Chain - Gray (6,7,8-Speed 116 Links)

Great Chain

Believe it or not, I used this on my Italian brand freewheel. Compared to another Italian lightweight chain from the same era, this chain worked very well on my Friction style six-speed cluster. I fact, it worked superior to a Regina and French made Sedis.

I would recommend this chain for those classic Italian bikes from the 1980's. And it's much cheaper in price compared to the European brands.Read full review...

IMO Shimano does make a functional and quality chain.

The Shimano chain seems far smoother than the Bell chain from the big box store.
I did not have a tool to attach the master link so I used a chain tool to join the chain together with the pins.
This chain rides smooth and I barley notice it at all.
The chain tool worked as far as I can tell.
ATM I have about 40 miles on it.
Although I prefer IGH (Internal Geared Hubs) prior to the 8 speed nexus and it's smaller sprocket design for speed.
Since the IGH bikes are few and far between, and the gear cluster is so widely used.
I do have to replace the bike parts that wear out, and service the parts which, need regular service, and Shimano does support that as well.
(side note)Thumb shifters are also a shimano nexus relic, for the most part. which is unfortunate IMO.Read full review...

Good quality chain!

This chain is a good quality chain that works well. It is very quiet and seems made of high quality materials. The chain came with a quicklink, which made it a lot easier to put together. I will update my review if this chain fails prematurely.Read full review...

Great chain! Smooth and quiet shifting.

This chain makes my project bike better for the long and short trips. It works great with my newly replaced crank and gear cluster.

Shimano chain

Prompt arrival. Chain is a chain. Hard to say how it will hold up, but as far as I can tell, good quality. Make sure you have a chain break. Pretty hard to do with a punch like you could 30 years ago. Read full review...

Good product. Tough quick link.

Not my favorite. The quick link was a little more resistant than some others but it worked great with good pick up and working nicely with my wide range 21 speed.
