I have used it on all three with no problems. **Q: Which missing link size should I buy (as a back up) for this chain? 7.1 mm or 7.3 mm?** A: I used the 7.1mm.. **Q: Will the kmc x8.93 6,7,8-speed chain replace the 'narrow hg 40" chain i have on my novara with 8 rings in the rear? all the others say 1/8 not 3:32.** A: I believe it should work fine for you. From what I could find the newest narrow hg 40 chain is 7.1 mm, and this is 7.3 mm. The older hg 40 chains were the same as this chain, so it should work for you. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just what I needed *by on Reviewed in the United States June 15, 2026* Great chain, love the X design, and it Shifts quick and quiet. One note for the seller, the ad says the included quick link is re-usable, but the note that came in the box says NOT re-usable, so which is it? ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great chain, great price. *by on Reviewed in the United States July 24, 2026* KMC chains are always good quality and almost indestructible if you keep them lubed. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An upgrade I was not expecting! *by on Reviewed in the United States September 2, 2025* Really really REALLY pleased with this chain. I am a casual, but daily rider of older 3 series Treks (with the attendant low-mid level SRAM and Shimano gear sets), and I did not expect a chain to make this much of a difference. I was servicing and adjusting the derailleurs on both bikes and while the shifts were spot on technically, they still felt "crunchy". I did a bit of reading, and that led me to order one of these. OK, chain lives matter. World of difference. Quieter, smoother, more authoritative shifts. Immediately ordered another one for bike #2. Five minute install, quick links, pre-lubricated. So quiet! ## Frequently Bought Together - KMC X8 8-Speed Nickel Plate edition X-Series Bicycle Chain Compatible with Shimano, SRAM, Campagnolo and All Major Systems - KMC X8 / Z8.3 / Z7 / Z6 Bicycle Chain Missing Link - 7.30mm Length - Silver - CL573R Silver - A AKRAF Bike Link Plier + Chain Breaker Splitter Tool + Chain Checker + 3 Pairs Bicycle Missing Links, Bike Link Opener Closer Plier Chain Cutter Connector Wear Indicator Tool --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/12880197-kmc-x8-8-speed-x-series-high-performance-bicycle-chain](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/12880197-kmc-x8-8-speed-x-series-high-performance-bicycle-chain) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-08-22*
