Chains for city bikes

The chain is a basic part of every bike, and replacing it is part of normal maintenance. We stock KMC chains for single-speed city bikes and bikes with hub gears.

Why replace the chain in time?

A worn chain “stretches” and starts wearing out the sprockets faster. Replacing the chain at the right time costs less than servicing the whole drivetrain later. We recommend checking chain wear every season, and more often if you ride a lot.

KMC

KMC is a Taiwanese chain maker with a long history. The KMC Z1 and S1 chains are the standard for single-speed city bikes. The eHX series is reinforced for e-bikes, whose drive produces more torque.

Corrosion protection

• Brown: basic surface treatment, for normal use
• EPT (EcoProTeQ): KMC’s corrosion-resistant finish, for everyday riding in all weather
• Rust Buster (RB): a special surface treatment with much higher rust resistance
