The Shimano CN-4601 Chain is part of the renowned Tiagra 4600 Series. It's a super narrow HG chain specially designed for 10-speed road drivetrains. Key features include: a newly shaped outer plate for enhanced performance, compatibility with 10-speed cassettes, and it comes with 116 links. Note that it's not compatible with 9-speed systems.

Using this chain is easy. Just install it on your 10-speed road bike following the standard bike chain installation process. When using, make sure your bike's drivetrain is clean to avoid unnecessary wear on the chain. For maintenance, regularly clean the chain with a bike chain cleaner and lubricate it to keep it running smoothly. Also, check the chain regularly for any signs of excessive wear. If the chain is worn out, replace it promptly to prevent damage to other parts of the drivetrain. Remember, this chain is only for 10-speed systems, so don't try to use it with a 9-speed one.
