 works well!Nov 16, 2010
By Thomas L. Reingold
I've installed quite a few of these on bikes. They seem to work as well as expensive chains. Of course, durability is important, and I haven't tested for that. Time will tell, but so far, so good.
The price is pretty hard to resist.

I have had nothing but good luck with this chain.
I've run them with Tiagra, Sora and Alevio 8-speed systems. The chain is smooth, quiet, and shifts very precisely.
One of the really nice things about the Z-72 is that it even comes with the "missing link" master instead of having to splice it with your chain tool or buying the missing link separately which can be quite pricey.
This chain is very well-made and I was talking to a guy who does bicycle mechanics training and he showed me that the quality of the Z-72 is actually better than other name brands such as SRAM. His method entails taking a new chain and seeing how much sideways deflection there is in it. As any chain wears and "stretches" this sideways deflection increases. The less deflection a chain has when it is new the better it will shift (to a certain extent as you need a certain amount in order for the chain to cross back and forth.) This chain fairs better than many name brands in this test.
It is also very low-priced. It's so low-priced that you can afford to run two chains on every bike and have one soaking in an oil bath and being cleaned up while you run the other one. I like to soak, drip-dry over the oil, and then towel off the chain to dry so it is like the factory-oiled chain it was when it was new. Every time I have a dry/dusty/muddy/rainy ride I will swap out the clean chain and start the process over. This process really increases chain life and keeps it quiet and performing well for many miles.
Get a couple of these for your bike -they are well worth the few dollars they cost. I really love them.
