Veloce Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Can anybody please explain the difference between Shimano's chain heirachy to me. I see no difference on their website between the HG 53 (Deore) HG 73 (LX) and the HG 93 (XT). They are all the same weight so there are no fancy o-rings or anything added, and they all flippen rust just as quickly as the next. I forked out for an HG73 because the website said it was plated but I have noticed no difference between the HG53 - 93 series of chains. Why pay R150 more for an HG93 when an HG53 is the same thing?? Or am I missing something here? Veloce2009-03-11 01:12:52
AndreZA Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 colour. Next time get a KMC or YBN chain, it's the same thing and they supply you with quick links. .
Underachiever Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 My LBS tell me the only difference between the XT and LX chain is that the XT one is nickel plated, hence the colour difference.But let's wait for JB's expert opinion
TNT1 Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 what does KMC cost vs Shimano? If manfrog suggested it, I assume KMC is a wee bit cheeper...
