Shimano CN-HG93 9-Speed Chain – 108 Links Grey
Notes from MyBikeThing The CN-HG93 represents Shimano’s commitment to precision engineering with its specially treated steel plates and chrome-finished pins. The advanced plate design and pin technology deliver exceptional durability while maintaining the crisp shifting Shimano is known for. What sets this chain apart is its optimized plate geometry that provides superior power transfer while reducing chain slap and noise.
Condition Visual inspection shows clean, consistent grey plating across all visible chain plates and pins. The chain appears to be in excellent condition with clear Shimano stampings visible on the outer plates. A Park Tool chain checker was used for measurement, and the chain is reported as having no stretch. Each link looks properly aligned with no visible damage or corrosion. Need more detailed photos or have questions about the testing results? I’m Paul – reach out anytime for specific measurements or additional inspection details.
Workshop Wisdom For a 9-speed setup like this, we typically see optimal performance with 108 links on most frames, though final length will depend on your chainstay length and gearing. Pro tip: Before installation, we recommend running the chain through a clean rag with light lube – this ensures any preservative coating is removed and replaced with proper chain lubricant for optimal performance from the first pedal stroke. Have questions about waxing? Reach out, I’m happy to shop talk 🙂
