So, I would use this for a bike I want to make look great, the chain looks just as a high performance SRAM, but it is not, this is all looks but still will work for any bike that is not in the high performance circle, like 99% of the bikes around.The links have some slack from side to side.I love the quality of the coating, it is flawless, it looks really nice and will make any bike look beautiful.It comes without the regular thick oil coating, so it will not catch dirt, but you will need a dry lube for it, don't go for any other lube or it will end up black and nasty.
