  1. I'm used to SRAM chains because I've always had good experiences with
    durability and performance, and I really like the powerlink. I've
    upgraded my drivetrain to 10 speed and am running Ultegra cassette
    with FSA compact crank. Since SRAM doesn't appear to make a 10 speed
    chain yet, I bought a Mavic mainly because it has a quick link. I'm
    not so sure I like the performance of the Mavic, however (assuming the
    touchy shifting issues I'm experiencing are chain and not mechanic
    [me] related).

    Any recommendations? Wipperman? Does Shimano Dura Ace work well with
    a missing link?

    TIA

    SRAM 89R is 10-speed compatible, some people here say.

    DA with a Wipperman 10s snap link or a mavic/Wipperman 10s chain. Both
    good choices.

    AND Sram, in spite of saying that a 10s chain cannot have a safe snap
    link, will have a 10s chain in 2007, with a snap link, for their 10s
    group.

    10 speed Ultegra/D-A chain and 9 speed SRAM Powerlink? Works with
    Campagnolo C10 chain.

    Why not a Dura Ace with a Forster Super Link?
