Well, it sounds you have had some great advice here! Chains normally run anywhere from $20-$100... but that is one that most people don't use. I agree with Running Mommy, I have used SRAM chains in the shop since the early 90's... great value and I believe a better chain than Shimano. AS for your $59 charge, it could be that they installed a Shimano, SRAM, or KMC chain... although most shops use Shimano or SRAM.
With 6000 miles on your cassette, you'll want to pay attention to the shifting on your bike. If you should notice any problems, have your LBS check your cassette... there may be too many miles on it to make it compatible with your new chain.

I think mine was $8 in labor or maybe no labor since I got a cassette (change size not because of wear), bought the chain, some sort of links, a deraileur adjustment and had my bars wrapped.
The chain was pretty expensive but I run Ultegra chain. I don't know $40? I think DH's was $50 for Dure Ace.Last edited by Aggie_Ama; 10-17-2008 at 04:30 AM.
