SRAM PC 971 Chain - 9-Speed
Like all other SRAM chains we sell, the PC-971 has bulged outer plates and chrome-hardened pins. It's a notch down from their PC-991 since it lacks the nickel plating on the inner plates and instead has raw steel. So although, it's a bit more susceptible to the elements, it doesn't sacrifice performance in comparison to the PC-991. It may not be as pretty, but it's a good bit less expensive. The outer plates are nickel plated for corrosion resistance. The SRAM PC-971 comes with a gold-colored PowerLink connector to make assembly and disassembly easy, a big plus for people who devote regular attention to their chains. It will work with all 9-speed drivetrains.
