## Description

Single-use connecting link. Features: single-use connecting link, no tools needed. This product is manufactured in United States.

Review: An upgrade I was not expecting! - Really really REALLY pleased with this chain. I am a casual, but daily rider of older 3 series Treks (with the attendant low-mid level SRAM and Shimano gear sets), and I did not expect a chain to make this much of a difference. I was servicing and adjusting the derailleurs on both bikes and while the shifts were spot on technically, they still felt "crunchy". I did a bit of reading, and that led me to order one of these. OK, chain lives matter. World of difference. Quieter, smoother, more authoritative shifts. Immediately ordered another one for bike #2. Five minute install, quick links, pre-lubricated. So quiet!
Review: Really nice bicycle chain - I purchased this to replace a really old and original chain on my Schwinn 24 speed mountain bike. I purchased the KMC X8.99/X8 Bicycle Chain and not only does it look great, it seems to be of better quality than my original. It comes with everything you need, including instructions and a missing link link. Once I had everything measured and popped the pin out, everything from there was pretty straightforward. Got the chain back on, and using the missing link, (which my original did not have) it makes it very easy to connect the chain together, and be on your way. I ended up using a different missing link only because of the color, but the one that comes with with the chain seems of better quality than the one I used. (this is just a recreational bike) The missing link link that comes with it is the same nice silver color as the chain. The chain overall came nicely lubricated, good packaging and fit perfectly after sizing it correctly. My old chain was very old and with this new chain my bike feels different when pedaling. Everything works. Shifting is smooth, no skips or jumps and very quiet. I have already ridden 30 miles on it and am happy I changed it. The chain just overall seems high quality and much nicer than my old chain even when new. Most importantly the compatibility, and fit is perfect on my bicycle. The size and links of the chain match up with my original.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does this come with the master link?**
A: Yes, it does come with a KMC "Missing Link", which is KMC's name for a Master Link.

**Q: Is the kmc x8.93 8 speed 7.3 mm? what's the difference between this and the kmc x8.93 6/7/8 speed chain?**
A: The KMC X8, also known as the 8.93, works on all standard 6, 7, and 8 speed drivetrains. I have used it on all three with no problems.

**Q: Which missing link size should I buy (as a back up) for this chain?  7.1 mm or 7.3 mm?**
A: I used the 7.1mm..

**Q: Will the kmc x8.93 6,7,8-speed chain replace the 'narrow hg 40" chain i have on my novara with 8 rings in the rear? all the others say 1/8 not 3:32.**
A: I believe it should work fine for you. From what I could find the newest narrow hg 40 chain is 7.1 mm, and this is 7.3 mm. The older hg 40 chains were the same as this chain, so it should work for you.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic! Completely changed my 20 year old bicycle!
*by M***W on March 19, 2016*

Okay, first off I'm not an avid bicyclist. I know very little about bikes, other than what I remember when I was scabbing up my knees as a kid. Recently, a friend gave me a Raleigh 21 speed mountain (I think. It has knobby tires, but no suspension. Low gear, is very, very low) bike. It's old, maybe 20 years or so. It wouldn't shift at all, the derailer's, chain and shifting mechanisms were all gummed up and stuck. Using some solvent and light oil, I got everything moving, and functioning as they should (Thanks Google, lots of good info out there on adjusting 20 year old Shimano derailer's and shifters). After I was done, I went for a test ride. It all worked, just not well. The shifting was super clunky and hesitant, and I was getting what felt like the chain was skipping off the rear cassette (I learned that word on the inter web. Thanks again, Google). I couldn't get in all of the gears, no matter how much adjusting I did. Basically, if I was on the smallest gear on the rear cassette, I the front one wouldn't shift to the far left. If I was on the large gear in back, the front wouldn't go all the way to the right, big, gear on the front. On closer inspection, I found several links of the chain were stuck and not rotating as they should. More solvent and lube. After trying and trying, it became clear that no amount of oil was going to loosen them up. So I came here and found this chain, and threw in the recommended chain tool. 36 hours later, Prime did it's thing, and my new chain and tool arrived. Back to Google to learn how to remove links, and get the chain the right length. The included quick link connector threw me off a bit, as it essentially adds a link back in, after you size the chain. As other reviewers stated, it takes some elbow grease to push the pins out, but nothing too crazy. The tool Amazon recommended worked perfectly. I even used it to push the pin back into the links I removed, and it did the job just fine. Once the chain was on, I took another test ride. All I can say is WOW!!! The old Raleigh feels like a completely different bicycle! Smooth, noise free shifting, and it rides so much smother. There is less effort required to pedal now as well. The gear skipping thing is 100% gone, and I can silently snick into each and every gear, every time I hit the shifter. I was actually a little surprised how big a difference this chain made. It's like a completely different bicycle now. Really, it's that good, and made that big of a difference!!! One side note. I didn't degrease and re-oil the chain as some other reviewers suggested. The oil, lube or whatever it was shipped with seemed about right. It's not super saturated in the stuff, and seems to be a pretty good lube. As the magic link thingy is easy to remove and is reusable, I'll wait until it needs a cleaning, and do it then...
