  1. I went riding today with a friend who had just installed a Campy 10 speed gruppo on this bike.

    We only got about 5 miles before the chain came apart.

    It seems like I read about people using a Shimano 9 speed 'power link' to join a 10 speed chain but
    I have not been able to find where I saw that.

    I would appreciate it if someone could tell me what is the best way to join the 10 speed chain.

    Thanks.

    Lewis.

  2. I dumped my Campy chain in favor of the IRD. Yoiu can use a Super Link III(available from Branford Bike). I've used them for thousands of miles. IRD makes quick connect links as well.

    Hope this helps.

    I use the SRAM 9-speed Powerlink on my Campagnolo 10-speed chain. No problems at all.

    What kind of link was used to close the chain?? Campy first used the so called Permalink, but that
    was replaced last year by the HDL link which is much better. For the first time ever, I "broke" a
    chain this spring - the Permalink simply fell apart after 7 months of use.

    I have never heard about a ShimaNO 'power link', as far as I know they use 'HG connecting pins'.
    Powerlinks are made by SRAM, who also makes the PC 99 Hollowpin chain that can be used by a 10 speed
    system. You could also try the Wipperman Conex 10 link (and chain?).

    Not a shimano one but an IRD or Connex one.

    IRD/Connex, or use the provided Campagnolo push thru pin, installed correctly

  6. Thanks to all of you for the education.

    I really appreciate it.
