HG40 Chain with Connecting LinkShimano HG40 Chain with Connecting Link, Grey, 6/7/8 Speed

A 116-link chain for Hyperglide sprockets

The HG40 is a 116-link chain intended for bikes running 6, 7 or 8-speed Hyperglide sprockets. Shimano recommends it for Altus groups and older Alivio and STX drivetrains.

Built for smooth shifting

The inner plates are chamfered to help the chain move cleanly across HG sprockets when you change gear. Rollers, pins and plates are heat treated, and the chain comes in a plain grey finish that suits most bikes.

What comes in the pack

You get one chain supplied with a quick connecting link for joining it during fitting. Before fitting, measure your current chain or check your drivetrain set-up, as the link count may need shortening to suit your bike.

How to use

Measure your old chain or check your drivetrain, shorten the new chain to the right number of links if needed, and thread it round the sprockets. Join the ends with the supplied connecting link, then check that it runs smoothly through the gears.

Before you choose

This chain is designed for 6, 7 and 8-speed Hyperglide systems, so check your bike's gearing before ordering. Shimano advises replacing chains in good time, as a worn chain can speed up wear on chainrings and sprockets. Check the link count suits your bike before fitting.
