Good chain
Perfect. Fitted with easeI see many comments in reference to shimanos new quick link.When I first had a chain like this it took me half an hour and seemed impossible to install and it had me looking at videos .Once you know the "knack" it's easy. Did it today in 2 seconds. There's just a knack to it. You have to pull the chain laterally NOT attempt to pull two ends together, in order for the other end to pop in. It's actually really easy!Had same one before, just lasted me some 3-4000 miles so went for the same oneReasonable pricing tooAll good

Smooth, reliable and great value
This Shimano link chain is a solid choice for anyone looking to keep their 6/7/8-speed drivetrain running smoothly. Installation was quick, and shifting feels crisp and responsive right out of the box. Durable, quiet, and budget-friendly—exactly what you’d expect from Shimano. Perfect for commuters, weekend riders, or anyone needing a dependable replacement! Thumbs up from me! :)

Only lasted a few hundred miles - very rapid stretch damaged other components too.
I fitted 2 of these to my 7 speed Shimano equipped mountain bike in spring 2021. The first lasted for less than 1000 miles. The second lasted for 400 miles and stretched so rapidly that I changed it because I could not bear the noise of it running roughly on the sprockets whose rate of wear was much slower than the rate of stretch of the chain. Terrible! Each new chain was fitted at the same time as a new Shimano cassette, so each stretched chain actually cost me £25-30 in parts (the cassettes showed severe signs of wear - the second chain had over 2% extension when I changed it). I should add that each chain was thoroughly lubricated with Mucoff chain lube daily before my ride of typically 40 miles, and I only rode in fine weather.I discovered that the original chain on my Shimano equipped Trek MTB was a KMC Z7 and this had lasted for about 10,000 miles. Although I still have some spare Shimano chains, I fitted a new KMC chain (again with a new Shimano cassette but still running on the old chain wheels so it would be a fair comparison) and it ran well and quietly for 3000 miles and I have just replaced it as it had over 1% stretch and was beginning to slip during gear changes, probably due to the chainring wear caused by the Shimano chains stretching.I will never fit one of these Shimano chains to my bike again. I will now continue to use the KMC Z7 product. They also have a much easier (for my old hands) joining link which can be undone and reused.This is not a positive review at all - but I wrote it so people won't waste their money on a product you would expect to be good (given the brand name) but isn't, and maybe Shimano will take note too! It worked, but due to its rapid wear it's lifetime was too short and in stretching so fast it damaged my cassette and chain wheels which have had to be replaced too at considerable expense.
