Review: Great chain - It's a good chain. The master link was strangely difficult to put on, but I managed eventually. I've put a couple bundred miles on it and it's held easily. I wasn't too concerned on weight, but it was about the same as my previous chain. It's definitely worth the price for reliability and feel. It shifts easily and is pretty quiet.

I had this happen twice. After the second time I checked the ware of the chain and it only had 690 miles on it. And it was WAY past worn at that point. A real chain should last at least 2,000 miles. The quick link this chain came with just read "11s". A real Shimano quick link looks very different. Also the font was different on this chain. Lesson learned. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SELLER. And honestly I will just buy from a shop from now on. Hopefully my whole drivetrain isn't ruined. **Q: I want to remove the chain for cleaning and reinstall. Is the quick link reusable for reinstallation?** A: Shimano quick links aren't reusable, but you can always buy replacement quick links if you want to do this. That said, if you haven't tried out something like the Park Tool CM-5.2 for cleaning, you really should -- they do a fantastic job of cleaning to bright and shiny status without needing to break the chain. **Q: Would it work with dura ace 9000 crank set?** A: If you have a Dura Ace crank set I would go with the dour Ace chain: https://www.amazon.com/Shimano-Dura-Ace-CN7801-Chain/dp/B009KKDVJI. Don't cheap out. Get they right parts for your bike. Also get a chain wear tool so you know exactly when to change it: https://www.amazon.com/Park-Tool-CC-3-2-Chain-Checker/dp/B000BR3LHQ/ **Q: Will this chain work with and ultegra di2 11-32 setup?** A: I have in on Di2 11-33 with 36-52 on the front. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great chain *by T***K on May 31, 2026* It's a good chain. The master link was strangely difficult to put on, but I managed eventually. I've put a couple bundred miles on it and it's held easily. I wasn't too concerned on weight, but it was about the same as my previous chain. It's definitely worth the price for reliability and feel. It shifts easily and is pretty quiet. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Trust brand quality *by T***O on August 2, 2026* I can trust the brand quality ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not a fan of Quick Links but the chain is great *by L***C on December 16, 2020* UPDATE (03-2021): I have about 2,500K IRL miles on this new chain now and there is no sign of stretch and my old-school no-master-link connection has held up perfectly. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I've been racing since the late 70's, built frames in the 80's, was a bike shop manager and mechanic into the mid 80s, and was a support mechanic and motorcycle official for the Coors Classic "back in the day". I've replaced hundreds of chains, but until recently always with a chin break tool and fixed pins. I've never had a problem doing that, perhaps because I'd developed a technique, with fixed pins. "Master Links" were for 3-speed chains and commuter bikes. Now they're on racing chains? That may be fine for people who don't know how to properly replace a chain with a chain tool, but unless you have the proper tool (which I do happen to have), these master link chains can be hard to replace - completely contrary to the point of moving to master links in the first place. In any case, there is nothing wrong with the chain or the ML - I just don't like the ML. I did not use the ML in this case, I just used a chain break to remove the extra length of chain to fit my bike and connected the ends with the chain break. I suppose time will tell if reusing existing pins is a bad idea, but I've got about 300 miles on the new chain in the past 3 weeks and so far so go. The chain replaced the stock non-Shimano chain on a 2018 Cannondale SuperSix Evo training bike that was stretched longer than I've ever seen a chain stretch in about 3K miles. I've heard these Ultegra's tend to stretch easily too, so we'll see on that count as well. In the end the chain is what it is - Shimano Ultegra - and who am I to question Shimano's engineering expertise when it comes to chain linkages. However, I won't be using MLs any time soon unless I learn that reusing pins results in premature failure. But I do have a Park ML tool, so I can go either way. I also plan to continue using Ultegra for my training bikes and Dura Ace chains on racing bikes as I've never ridden on better chains. ## Frequently Bought Together - Shimano Ultegra/XT CN-HG701 11-Speed Chain W/Quick Liink - Park Tool Master Link Pliers MLP-1.2 - Park Tool Chain Tool - CT-3.3 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/47019924-ultegra-xt-cn-hg701-11-speed-chain-w-quick-liink](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/47019924-ultegra-xt-cn-hg701-11-speed-chain-w-quick-liink) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-10-17*
