PC971 SRAM Chain Pre-waxed – Affordable Performance with Professional Treatment
This pre-waxed PC SRAM chain combines SRAM’s proven PC-971 engineering with our professional wax treatment process, delivering reliable 9-speed performance without the premium chain price. This 114-link chain features solid pin construction and PowerLock connector, professionally treated with your choice of premium wax from Silca, Molten, or Ceramic Speed.
Budget-Friendly Chain, Premium Wax Treatment
Not every rider needs the most expensive chain to get excellent performance. The PC-971 delivers the precise shifting and durability that 9-speed drivetrains require while keeping costs reasonable. What you save on the chain, you’re investing in professional wax treatment that transforms how any chain performs.
Our 5-step waxing process means you get careful degreasing, ultrasonic cleaning, hot wax immersion, breaking-in, and professional repackaging. The performance benefits of proper wax treatment—quieter operation, cleaner drivetrain, reduced component wear—apply equally to all properly waxed chains.
Universal 9-Speed Compatibility
This chain works with all 9-speed SRAM and Shimano road and mountain bike drivetrains. The PC-971 provides the precise engagement and smooth shifting these drivetrains were designed to deliver. The included PowerLock connector makes installation tool-free and straightforward.
