SRAM PC-870 Chain

4.5

Best durable upgrade for 7 or 8-speed commuter and trail bikes.

This is the workhorse you install when you want to stop thinking about your drivetrain and just ride. It lacks the lightweight, high-tech flair of premium racing chains, but it trades that performance edge for rugged, corrosion-resistant reliability that keeps your commuter or trail bike shifting smoothly for miles.
