Connex 10 speed link for Shimano chain
I see some places selling a 6.1mm Shimano compatible Connex link.
Has anybody used one of these? I just don't feel secure with the Shimano 10 speed pin. Thanks - Joel |

Connex 10 speed link for Shimano chain
seacrh for connex links in tech archives
i bought two and no connex 8 speed does not fit a shimano hg50 8 connex plates the link thicker than shimano-including the pin the links - maybe sheldon brown?? - contain a measurement post home depot has a nice triangular file... the connex design could be an upgrade but a sram hyperlink works through 3 chains if all is kept clean and lubed how the connex wears with excess plating filed off is as yet unknown |

Personally, I don't like the way the Connex link works. The IRD snap link works just like the SRAM power link, but is 10 speed compatible (one for Shimano, one for Campy): http://www.interlocracing.com/chains.html |

Thanks - Joel The Connex link is more convenient than the SRAM type, since it truly can be opened even when the chain is gritty. The mechanism seems also less secure than the SRAM one. If the chain doubles up on itself, the link could slide loose. However, that's never happened to me in appr. 7000km. Jan |

I can open both the 7/8-speed and 9-speed SRAM Power Links on a dirty chain, but it requires pliers (and yes, I carry pliers when riding). -- Tom Sherman - Fox River Valley |

Connex 10 speed link for Shimano chain
months after the original connex to shimano discussions
sitting at lunch outside or at the word processor inside the library came an anguished cry- "the post is plated!" |
