Campagnolo 10 speed chain tool
Is it absolutely necessary to use Campagnolo's proprietary UT-CN200
chain tool to join and separate Campy 10 speed chains? Are there any third party alternatives that can also do the job? Thanks for any advise here. -- |

As a minimum, I note that there's a 0.1mm differential in the spec. Don't know if that makes a difference to the gears. -- |

Apparently you have to get the depth of 10-speed chain pins just right, or the risk of breakage there is fairly high. -- Home page: http://members.westnet.com.au/mvw |

We sell the 6.2 for Wipperman/Mavic and old Campag 10s chains and the 6.05mm one for shimano 10s chains and the new, narrower, Campag 10s chain-works great. -- |

Yes for 4 years now (C10 and the 6.2 mm Connex/Wipperman link) and for 6 months (6.0 mm and a Campy Ulta Narrow chain). No problems. Everyone who is messing with special pins(Shimano), special tools (Campy) and special links (Campy) is nuts ;-) As a minimum, I note that there's a 0.1mm differential in the spec. Don't know if that makes a difference to the gears. I don't know what you mean. Lou -- Posted by news://news.nb.nu |

OTOH, if you have eyes and hands of a surgeon skilled in micro-surgery then you can probably make do with an ordinary chain tool. |
