    REI Members get back an estimated $ 2.60 on this item as part of their annual member refund.

    The REI Member Dividend

    The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

    Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

    Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

    Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

          Comments about SRAM PC971 9-Speed Chain:

          I've been using this chain for the last 3 or 4 years. It's easy to get on and off thanks to the master link (put purchasing the master link tool isn't a bad idea) and is pretty durable. Of course that depends on how well you maintain it. I get about 5000 miles before I have to think about changing it, I usually change it out every spring. It shifts about as well as any other chain but of course that depends on how precisely you have everything adjusted. I think it's a great value too.

            Comments about SRAM PC971 9-Speed Chain:

            The SRAM PC-971 is the chain to buy if you need a 9-speed chain. The SRAM link makes the chain very easy to install and remove. Forget the Shimano method of pressing in a special pin and breaking it off; the SRAM link is better and simpler. No need to spend any more, this chain is great. Don't spend extra for chains with hollow pins or slots cut in the links. You'll save only a few grams, and pay a lot more. This chain has nickel-plated outer links and unplated inner links.

            Comments about SRAM PC971 9-Speed Chain:

            Both my recent bikes had basic Shimano chains and as soon as it came to clean the chains for the first time, I bought a SRAM PC-971. The Powerlink is tremendously useful. Will never consider a Shimano chain again until they start using a similar system.

            Chain is very smooth. The sticky goo on it is apparently some kind of lubricant, so don't bother trying to wipe it off. Works great right out of the box. Weight is probably on par with every other mid-field chain.

            Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
