This was ordered to repair a bicycle that my son rides frequently to do a paper route. It has done the job satisfactorily. No complaints. We recommend it. Seems to be a good product for the price.

I am using this chain on a Bianchi Premio six speeds. This chain shifts smoothly. The chain and Shimano Freewheel 14-28, work well together.

This is the first time,I use this brand, usually I am able to obtain 2500 miles out of a chain.

I ride mostly on flat roads, sometimes against strong winds, which it would the equivalent of uphills.

I believe this chain, if cleaned regularly, it should last for a long time.

Best Deals for Ventura Bicycle Chain 1/2-Inch x 3/32-Inch

This is a great chain. However I've noticed it getting bad reviews from people who lack the mechanical skills possessed by a 7-year-old child! I say "7-year-old" because that's how old I was when my dad taught me how to open & close master links!

The kmc master link is a lot faster & easier to use than the fat, clunky "old-fashioned" master on my old 20" coaster!

This is how to install it:

1 observe the flat plate. notice it has a slot running the length of it, with a "hole" at one end to put the pins through.

2 observe the pin side of the master. notice the pins have grooves in the ends & the back plate is bent slightly "outward".

3 put chain through bike, put master pin plate through the ends of chain with "open" side facing you.

4 put "hole" in front plate over one pin & slide down to other end, so that "hole" can be positioned over second pin.

5 firmly hold links on either side of master in each hand, hold front plate "hole" over second pin with thumb.

6 gently, but firmly, bend master pins "together" toward yourself, until "hole" slips onto second pin.

7 gently release chain. the tension of the chain will pull the pins outward & front plate will make a "click" sound as it locks into the groove in the second pin.

To remove the master link: slack the chain, push pins together to align "hole" over pin, have a helper wiggle the plate off with needle-nose pliers.

If chain tension makes bending the pins together difficult, have a helper hold up the derailleur pulley to slack the chain. If you have a single speed bike, loosen/remove the rear wheel to slack the chain.

It's so easy a 7-year-old could do it! Took me about 10 seconds to install the master link, easiest master I've ever installed!

This is a wonderful chain with easy installation and quality. I put it on 26" mountain bike with 18 speed, it works very well.

The chain is great for the price, but the Ventura quick link for the 3/32 wide chain is very odd. One plate of the quick link has both pins fixed to it. The other plate has one key hole. One has to flex the plate to get the final pin through the key hole. I had to use pliers.

It is easier to re-use the original pin. To re-use the pin, you will have to keep the outside plates. Since I was going to use the quick link, I punched out the pin for these outside plates.
