TCTG Posted May 4, 2014 Share Hi, I ride a road bike with DA 7900 GS, it is time to change the chain before it wears my cassette. Besides the cost factor what other chain would be more sutiable as a repalcement for a DA 7900 chain? Your input will be appreciated. Feel free to request any further info.

orbeaorca Posted May 4, 2014 Share A Tiagra chain will also work cheaper @R299 http://www.cwcycles.co.za/product/shimano-tiagra-cn4600-10sp-chain I would just put a dura ace chain on. I am sure even a 9000 chain should work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCTG Posted May 4, 2014 Share This one, http://www.cwcycles....pd-silver-chainTeam issue for Vacansoleil. There is a gold edition as well. Thanks for the feedback, there is not much of a price difference compared with DA chain and i assume the gold edtion is more expensive as well. Do you know o this compares with the DA chain on weight etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomo Posted May 5, 2014 Share Ultegra chains/cassettes were always considered to be the best value for money Shimano option.That said, pricing seems to be catching up to DA.If cost is the main concern, a 105 chain may not be a bad option @ R295. http://www.evobikes.co.za/components/chains/shimano-105-10-speed-5600-chain.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakkals. Posted May 5, 2014 Share The KMC will be a better replacement chain IMO. However, a chain need to be looked after to ensure the longevity thereof. TCTG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
