  1. I'm having persistent problems with the new Shimano DuraAce
    7800 10-speed chain. The link connector does NOT want to
    stay in. I've popped this link on two new chains in a row,
    this after six years and 40-50 of the older, nine-speed
    Shimano chains never having a problem.

    I'm looking at Wipperman, about the only other 10-speed
    chain out there, and i"m wondering which model works with
    DuraAce. The 1011 lightweight actually SAYS it is compatible
    on the performancebike.com site, but other sites seem to say
    there is no difference between this and the 10X1 model other
    than weight.

    Anyone out there using after-market vendors for DuraAce 10-
    speed? Wipperman has a very good reputation as a Campy 10-
    speed replacement. I'm willing to pay the extra money if it
    is more reliable.

    I haven't used the 10-speed version yet, but the KMC "X"-
    series 9-speed chain has been wonderful, and they just came
    out with the 10-speed model. They run about $40 (or a bit
    less) so it's a reasonable alternative, and uses a quick-
    connect link. The Wipperman's, in my opinion, aren't as good
    shifting up front as the Shimano or KMC chains.
