Good chain, no connecting pin/link

I recommend this product

Good quality chain, but I foolishly assumed it came with a connecting pin or link - which it didn't... Don't be like me - add some connecting pins or quick links to your order!

Shimano Cn-Hg40 Chain With Connecting Link 116 Link 6/7/8 Speed

I recommend this product

ProsMore than long enough. Connecting link is great.

Does exactky what it says on the tin (well box). Very good chain with a few links to spare compared to the one being replaced. Obviously you need a chain tool for the initial sizing and removal of the old chain.
The inclusion of the connecting link is fantastic as it made reassembly much easier and gives you an easy removal point for future cleaning, without the need for the chain tool.

ProsEasy to put on the bike

I found this very easy to install on my bike. After removing the old chain and comparing the sizes, I found that they were almost identical in length and did not have to remove any links from the new one. It was then just a case of threading it through the gears/derailleurs and joining the two ends with the snap on link component. A low cost but good quality item which will get you mobile again easily and quickly.

Do quick links (or even pins) need to be purchased too?

By Ben

10 Jun 2024

One of the reviews mentioned needing to purchase quick links or pins, to be able to install this chain. Is this correct?

SJS Customer Service:

The chain does come with a pin pre installed, it just needs pushing through to install, however I would recommend using the SM-UG51 Quick links. SK 11/06/24

By Richard

Hello. I have a Raleigh Record Ace bought early 1980s. Rear cassette is 6 speed, gears are Shimano 600. Would this chain be compatible? If not, please could you recommend one which would be? Thank you and best regards.

Is there much difference?

I am running a deore m591 9spd with a 7spd cassette on a 1987 Raleigh Royal.

Thanks SJS!

Will I Be Able To Remove Links With A Ct7 Chain Tool?

By Anonymous

26 Aug 2015

SJS Customer Service:

Hi,

Unfortunately you will not be able to use that tool with this chain or any geared chain. That chain tool is only compatible with single-speed chains and is not compatible with 3/32" (7/8Spd) or narrower chains.

Thanks.
