Review
After to days of wet riding in Tsali, NC several of the links are rusted. I know that this can happend with any chain, but this is the first chain I have ever had that this has happened. I kept it well lubed and cleaned it right after use so??

Pros
Compatible with your average drivetrain. Powerlink technology = life saver.
Cons
I've broken a lot of links, and probably need to replace my chain. But chains wear out, it's a fact of life.
