Default Actual Tech: Quick Links

For some unknown reason, I bought a Shimano chain. What a pain in the
ass with the single-use pin. I assume there is an after-market "quick

a preferred product, I would appreciate knowing that.


High-end Shimano chains are really strong, good chains. I'm sure
glad that others have made compatible quick-links, though.

What speed Shimano chain did you buy? For 9sp, use the SRAM
quick-link. For 10sp, use the KMC quick-link. The Connex link works
for 10sp as well, but seems to wear quickly.
