FAQ

Can I use the PC-1 on a multi-speed drivetrain with a derailleur?

No. The PC-1 is a single-speed chain designed for non-derailleur drivetrains only. It is wider than multi-speed chains and will not shift or index correctly with a derailleur-equipped cassette or freewheel. Use a SRAM multi-speed chain for any drivetrain with indexed shifting.

What does the nickel finish do?

The nickel finish provides corrosion resistance against rain and road moisture, helps the chain run quieter and smoother, and gives it a clean silver appearance that holds up well visually compared to bare steel.

How do I install a single-speed chain without a master link?

Route the chain through the drivetrain and use a chain breaker tool to size it to the correct length, then press the pin through the final link to join the ends. A chain breaker is required for installation and future removal.

Best For

Fixed gear, track, BMX, single-speed mountain, and urban commuter riders who need a cost-effective, nickel-finished single-speed chain with solid corrosion resistance and smooth running.
