Can I remove and reinstall a Campy 10s chain by partially pushing out the hollow pin with a chain tool and then pushing it back in when I put it back on? I've done that for years on other chains for cleaning purposes and was wondering if there is some reason I shouldn't do it on Campy 10.
I would never do that. Get yourself a Wipperman 10sp link to use on your Campy chain. That is what I use. "Wayne Pein" <[email hidden]> wrote in message "]news:[email hidden]...

I've ridden like that for two years without problems. I switched to SRAM 9 speed Gold PowerLinks then, much easier to connect the chain and i get them for free at my LBS when i buy some other stuff.

I also use a wipperman nickel 10 chain. Easy on off, no tools, runs smooth.

No they are not designed to do this and you may break the chain there when riding. Use the supplied push thru pin or use a snap link like the Connex one.
