SRAMRed 22 Chain - 11-Speed, 114 Links, Silver

Very good product. I had no problems.

This replaced the Force22 (PC-1170) chain that came with my full Force22 group after ~5k miles. I cannot believe how completely silent this new chain is—I think it's quieter than the first time I rode the group when I got my bike! All I can hear now are my tires gripping the road. With everything tuned correctly it shifts like butter and is just completely silent (did I mention that already?). Totally worth the $10 over the Force level chain. The quick link can be tricky to both remove and install, but no big deal. I removed two full links to fit my 53/39, 11-28 drivetrain.

Of the 11 speed chains I have used, I prefer this one. Its installation and removal is far easier than Shimano chains. It works equally well on Shimano or SRAM drive trains, and his holds up well. It is a quiet, well-designed chain that looks cleaner than KMC chains. All around, it is my preferred chain on my bikes.

The SRAM Red 22 is the only chain I use on my Madone and Domane SLR bikes. It is reliable and durable, providing quick and uniform shifting with my etap systems.

Great chain. I get twice the mileage on SRAM chains as on Shimano. It shifts smoothly and lasts and lasts. I have used both the Red22 and the 1170 with equal results. For those who are "weight weenies" this chain is about14 grams lighter.

I bought this to upgrade to an 11-speed drivetrain. It's being used on a 10-speed chain ring, which doesn't seem to slow it down. Fortunately, I checked out the installation instructions online. Otherwise, I wouldn't have know about making sure the removable link's arrow needed to point at the direction of chain travel. This might be in the included instructions, but I'm putting it out there as a reminder.

what can I say - it fits the chainrings...

Sram chains are well designed, reliable and easy to remove and install because of the "flow link". It is best to have the chain tool that sets and releases this link. Removal and installation become a breeze. Sram has generally become the standard to follow. At "73", I have been installing bicycle chains for at least 60 years. Sram offers many selections in materials, designs and price. Pick one-you can't go wrong.
