Item # 751368

REI Members get back an estimated 10% 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 Powerlink - 9-Speed:

For the amount of metal, it's actually pricey and REI sometimes sells a cheaper brand. Having said that, there is no excuse for every cyclist to not have at least one of these in your repair kit. It can be a life saver when you're in a remote trail, and at the very least it saves the day when your chain snaps. Installation is no problem and quick even in cold or poor weather; sometimes you need a chain breaking tool to remove one link before you can put it on. I have difficulty reusing these powerlinks if you ever want to remove it. You have to snap it off without breaking it so it's usually not worth the trouble. Keep in mind if your chain breaks often, you probably have drive train issues (chain alignment, bent derailleur or hanger, worn parts, spacing issues, chainguide issues, etc). Ride safe!

Comments about SRAM Powerlink - 9-Speed:

Being able to take the chain off the bike makes it a billion times easier to clean. Just drop it into a Gatorade bottle, add 1 oz. degreaser, shake well, rinse, wipe dry, and relube.
I'm giving this fellow five stars. I marginally prefer Wipperman's, because it folds apart rather than having to be forced. But Sram's is great too.

Comments about SRAM Powerlink - 9-Speed:

SRAM chains seem to work fine on my Shimano drive train, and an easily installable and reusable Powerlink is much easier to deal with than Shimano chain pins.

I carry a spare Powerlink (and a chain tool) in case someone's chain breaks out on the road or trail. In an emergency, the SRAM Powerlink seems to work OK even in a Shimano chain, although SRAM doesn't endorse that.

Make sure you use a Powerlink that is compatible with your chain (8 vs. 9 vs. 10-speed).
