Wipperman Link on a Shimano Chain
Has anyone tried using a Wipperman link (10 speed) on a Shimano (10 speed
chain)? I know SRAM has dire warnings about using their links with other chains, but it seems like there should be no reason why there should be any compatibility issues. Any experiences or thoughts would be appreciated. |

I haven't used the Shimano 10 sp chain yet but I know someone who has for a year and he, and others, use a SRAM Powerlink II, 'gold', 9sp link. The Wipperman works too. |

Any experiences or thoughts would be appreciated. I'm told that the Wipperman links works on the Shimano 10s chain just fine. Those dire warnings from SRAM must be weasel words that their lawyers made them insert, because I've put SRAM Powerlinks on random brands of chain with no problems at all. You just have to make sure that you use the right width. -- My email address is antispammed; pull WEEDS if replying via e-mail. Typoes are not a bug, they're a feature.
