2009 Campagnolo Record 11 Chain
You might recall that Campagnolo had 3 generations of their Record 10 speed chain, evolving from a 6.1mm width down to 5.9mm. With the introduction of Record 11 speed, this width now reduces to 5.5mm. Campagnolo calls their Record 11 chain the "Ultra Shift" chain. First and foremost, it delivers ...read more
2009 Campagnolo Chorus 11 Chain
Like the Record 11 chain, the Campagnolo Chorus 11 Ultra Shift chain is 5.5mm wide. This narrowness means it has less interference with adjacent sprockets and chainrings, which makes it quieter and quicker-shifting than previous generations of Campagnolo chains. The re-shaped Ultra Shift outer ...read more
2009 Campagnolo Record Ultra Narrow Chain
Campy calls their 3rd generation Record chain the "Ultra Narrow" because its width shrinks 6.1mm to 5.9mm. What does this 0.2mm difference mean to your drivetrain? While a clean Record drivetrain of any era is as quiet as thief, the Ultra Narrow chain delivers even more of what we love from our ...read more
2009 Campagnolo Record Ultra Narrow HD-Link Kit
If you crack your Record chain to clean it, you can't just pop a pin into it. Rather, you must install a brand new HD-L Link, which consists of a fresh pin and a new link. It's a precise procedure and the link itself isn't cheap, which is why it's always easier to clean your Campy chain while ...read more
2009 Shimano Dura Ace CN-7900 Chain
A chain is a funny component: We judge them not on what they do do, but rather on what they don't do. If your shifting is crisp and you don't get chain suck and your drivetrain is quiet when you pedal -- how can you improve upon that? Shimano understands this, and with their Dura Ace CN-7900 ...read more
2009 Shimano Dura-Ace 10-Speed CN-7800 Chain
The Dura-Ace 10-Speed chain is lighter than the 9-speed version by 24g. The rollers are the same width as the 9-speed to maintain strength and durability. The weight reduction and the improvement of the shifting was accomplished by minimizing the contour of the sideplates. The super-flush surface ...read more
2010 Shimano Ultegra 10-Speed CN-6700 Chain
The new Shimano CN-6700 Ultegra 10-speed chain is great news for Dura Ace users. It is just like the 7900 chain, only cheaper. The update of this chain has perforated plates, just like DA, for weight saving and cool factor. It also has different outer and inner plates, meaning there is a correct ...read more
2009 Shimano Ultegra 10-Speed CN-6600 Chain
The CN-6600 10-Speed chain is lighter but every bit as durable as the Ultegra CN-6500 9-Speed chain we grew to love over the last several years. Its carefully profiled links ensure nearly silent performance and quick, precise shifts unders the most arduous racing conditions and pedaling ...read more
2009 Shimano Dura-Ace/XTR CN-7701 Chain
The Dura-Ace 7701 chain was built specifically to enhance the drivetrain of Shimano's signature 9-speed gruppo. Its precision construction maintains shifting response despite its narrower width. Being Dura-Ace, it has tighter tolerances to help maintain strength, dependability, and ...read more
2009 SRAM PC-1090R Chain
The precision of SRAM's groups hinge on the use of SRAM components throughout the drivetrain. The PC-1090R chain is made specifically to mate to the OpenGlide cogs of the SRAM OG-1090 and OG-1070 cassettes and the PowerGlide chainrings of the SRAM road cranksets. Your shifting will be quicker, ...read more
