10 Speed Chains

I've been having trouble shifting with my new 10 speed. The strange part is that it's only on one gear. It's a new 10 speed chain but unlike most Shimano stuff it didn't come with the connector pins.

I ordered some 10 speed quick links but until they come in I've been using a 9 speed link I have.

Doesn't work. It's wide enough that it picks up the lifter on the cassette. I was thinking that it was the Miche cassette and that may be a little part of it but turning it carefully with everything set exactly right I can watch it lift on the quick link.

I should be getting in the 10 speed quick links any time now. In the meantime I'll ride the Eddy Merckx instead of the Basso.

Received the ten speed quick link and installed it and all the shifting problems disappeared.

Once when helping out a MTB rider with a pretzeled chain I used my spare
10-speed link and, to my surprise, somehow was able to cram it onto his
9-speed chain. He rode more than another 100 miles on that and it never
gave up.
