Q: Having an issue with this chain, chain is loose on 7 but tight on other settings, how do I fix this?

Okay you may be referring to chain slack or how tight the chain is wrapped around the cassette gear - either way it's the fault of the derailleur. Check the spec for "max teeth" (not total teeth) and compare it to your cassette. It may be spec'd for 34 and you have 34 or slightly bigger. If it's a match either get a longer cage derailleur or a smaller cluster gear. Some variation of this.

Q: Does this chain come wih connecting links or pins? If not what is reccomended?

Yes, it does come with connecting pins or Rivets if you will, I would personally recommend the KMC 5,6,7,8 speed Missing links as I personally think you should just ignore using the pin.

Q: Will this work okay on a 9 speed crankset?

No. Not at all. Don't even try. The dimensions are completely different. Everything about a 9 speed drivetrain is slightly skinnier. The differences are miniscule (.5mm at most), but it's enough that putting a 6/7/8 speed chain on a 9 speed drivetrain is just a sloppy thing to do. So...don't. =)

Great chain for my bike.

So far, works well on my 11 speed bike. Put 30 mile on this chain (and new cassette) yesterday. Easy to install. Easy to clean.

So far so good.

I used 3 different chains, one of them was A bell chain purchased from a local store, and they all had one thing in common, teeth jumping or skipping and to the point that bycicle riding became a daily nightmare. With this chain the issue was resolved and pedaling and shifting gears is smooth and easy. It does not come with a master link but to me this is not an issue, the chain length was perfect, I didn't have to remove any links for adjustments.

Apply Dry Lube to Chain after Cleaning

Cleaned Chain with Simple Green and brush and then applied dry lube. Runs great and looks Shinny. Easy to install as long as you match the links to your Bike Chain requirements during installation. I did put a Master link on this chain not easy but doable.

Nice chain

Specs say it is stainless steel, which is good, as the one I removed off my Trek bike was not and was rusting pretty badly from lack of lube. Instructions said not to lube the chain after install. It appeared to have a fairly nice oil coating on it. New chain was 2 links to long so I removed them and after watching a couple videos on YouTube, was able to get the new one installed properly. I would recommend.
