  1. I am rebuilding a friends bike with 2004 Campy Record 10 Speed components. The instructions for the
    C10 HD-L chain are pretty specific about using only the Campy chain tool. I'm hesitant to spring for
    a $100 tool that I'll rarely use, but I will if I have to. I do have a Forster Super Link III that
    indicates it will work with Campy 10 speed chains. Is this a proper solution? Can this link be
    trusted? It would seem much more convenient in the long run as well, but my friend is not at all
    mechanical and I would hate to do anything that may leave him stranded on the road, or worse.

  2. No problem, that is what I use on my Chorus 10sp setup. I've used that link
    for a few years now , and used the same products when it was called/made by
    Craig MFG. Another link to look at that I've now found to be a little
    better is the Campy compatible link made by Wipperman.

    I would say use the snap link. BUT you can get the Campagnolo pin in straight with a normal chain
    tool. Lube everything with oil and be careful but the Connex or similar link is best.

  4. I use a Wipperman link currently, but managed for years with a regular(high quality) chain tool.
    although once on, I just cleaned the chain while on the bike. didnt want to push my luck
