My bike gears had been making crunching noises and chain was jumping after more than 3000 miles on a previous HG40 Shimano chain. I don't abuse my chains but I also don't clean them as often as I probably should especially with the significant amount of gravel grinding that I have ridden. Most anecdotal evidence or expert opinion that you can read online suggest chains might only last 1500 or 2000 miles bu the previous exact same chain as in this review did more than 3000. That speaks enough to me about the quality of this Shimano chain. I heartily recommend it. You won't be disappointed.

This is a smooth-shifting chain that I am using with a vintage 5-speed SunTour freewheel. Unfortunately, these chains do not last. "Chain stretch" occurs after as little as 2,000 miles. I have already ruined one freewheel because I foolishly assumed that I could get more life out of the chain. Sadly, these chains are far less robust than the old 5-speed chains that last many thousands of miles. Oh well, I will have to be more vigilant about checking "chain stretch" going forward.

I almost always get Shimano chains, from time to time you get a knock off dressed up as an S. They usually rust up and clog in a few months, very annoying. The knock offs do not shift as well either, Shimano designed their drive train components to be cross compatible. Smooth shifting of cleaned & tuned parts is so sweet. Get out you oil and brushes. :) This reminds me I need another one for the ride I am building for my GF.
