Lasted, Despite Horrific Abuse
I originally had a race chain, and took care of it everyday. I got sick of maintaining it endlessly and got this x-ring chain. I finally replaced this chain after 20,000km. Now, I know many of you out there are probably thinking that 20,000km isn't really great, but this chain took a lot of abuse.
It did not get cleaned regularly, and when it did sometimes it was solvents, sometimes oil, sometimes a pressure washer, it got lubed only a couple times a month, it was lubed with about 6 different types of products (silicone, motor oil, grease, graphite, gear oil) over its lifetime, as I tried and failed to find one that wouldn't get full of sand and/or fling everywhere. It was out of adjustment for most of last summer, because I was commuting with it, and never made the time to sort it out. By the time that I finally put it out of its misery, 4 spots had gotten stiff, and fully a quarter of the rollers were rattling. The chain noise couldn't be quieted down, and it gave the bike a gait like a horse at low-speed.
I put 1000km on it this year... even though it had all those problems last year. I finally replaced it, with an identical chain and am confident that with proper maintenance this time, I can get many more thousands of km's out of it than the last one.
I would not trust another chain to survive the kind of life that the last one D.I.D.

Awesome chain!
This chain is excellent. I noticed that that the rivet pins are much harder than my previous brand of chain. My riveting tool was unable to expand the rivet because the tool was too soft! I made an insert out of a broken drill bit but that was still too soft. I ended up making an insert out of O-1 tool steel and oil hardening it to harder than a file. That finally worked. I expect this chain to last a long time.

Not what they say it is
Long story short...
A chain is a chain in that respect this chain was good. Did the job.
That said, it's not what they say it is. I ordered a BLACK chain and was sent a natural one. The 2 options are Black or Gold yet when I chose the black I got SILVER/NATURAL chain. If you don't care about that this chain is awesome. Just don't go by the "color " they let you choose.

Does the job... well
Got this as replacement for my oem chains after 11k (I know, I didn't know about proper chain maintenance until I saw o-rings coming off at 10k Kms). So far, I haven't seen a lot of difference from what I remember when the bike was new. Time will tell if the x-ring investment pays off. They fit well and comes with a clip style master clip. Weird that 110 links is cheaper than the 108. Still bought the latter though for the convenience. If you have the knowledge to cut down the links properly, save the $20 and get the 110 links.

Bonne qualité
Super tout est parfait mais la seule choses que je trouve poche c’est qu’il faut acheter la pin à part 20$ grrr car celle qui viens avec est pas de bonne qualités ... je comprend pas surout que la chaîne est de bonne qualités ... bref magasiner pour être sûr que le deal est bon
