chains.... again.....
Hi again,
To continmue my worries about chains. I have measured my chain according to some of these chain wear tables. My chain centre rivet to centre rivet is exactly 12 outside links measured on an engineer rule. I want to break this chain to install a new rear mech. This is the first time I have ever broken a chain, hence my anxiety about it !! I read Simon's reply to my thread earlier, where he recommends using a Wipperman 10 chain. Can I break my Campag chain and use a Wipperman link on it? I ask this since my chain on that particular bike is clearly not worn. Or must I use a new Wipperman chain. This'll be fine on the Campag Centaur groupset? Thanks, Steve |

If you're really worried about it I suggest you remove the jockey wheels rather than splitting the chain - it's only two screws. |

My chain is a Record Hollowpin 10 speed. -- (Simon Brooke) http://www.jasmine.org.uk/~simon/ ;; Human history becomes more and more a race between ;; education and catastrophe. H.G.

As I mentioned before Steve, you need to be careful about the various widths of these things. Campag 10-speed chains exist in two widths now, and I don't know how many Wipperman links there are. ~PB Here's some advice from another place: "Wipperman Connex...6.2 for the older 6.2mm chains, 6.05 one for the new, narrow 5.9 chains."
