The Shimano HG71 8/7/6 Speed chain is here to replace older 8/7/6 speed chains. The New Hyperglide technology allows extreme durability and finess to be applied to your old set up with a new wave technology.
Details:
Hyperglide (HG) series 7- or 8-speed compatible chain, recommended for 1995 and earlier Deore LX / STX-RC and 1999 and earlier 105 drivetrains.
HG technology has chamfered inner plates to optimise shifting performance on HG sprockets.
Durability is assured through a chromising treatment on link pins, and the heat treatment of rollers, pins, and plates.
Mushrooming of the pins gives unsurpassed side-plate retention, enabling the chain to far exceed the BS/ISO standard for breaking force.
7.3mm chain width, optimised for 7- and 8-speed HG drivetrains.
Corrosion-resistant grey finish on inner and outer plates.
