As above. Just converted bike to ten speed just wondering if anyones uses sram's split links on shimano chains? Been using sram 9 speed links on shimano chains for years (one of me bikes got four on one chain!) without any issues just wondering if ok on ten speed
thanks 🙂
Probably best to fit a 10 speed KMC split link as Sram power lock links aren't strictly reusable.
Yes - although SRAM 10 speed links aren't designed to be reused, so can be fiddly - use a different brand like KMC
+1 for the KMC suggestion
Ok good stuff didnt know that about the sram links. KMC it is then
cheers men 🙂
I have recently started using kmc links on my xt 10 sp chains.
After going from triple to double to single ring and then a couple of mech changes all in a short space of time left me with 6 connector pins in one chain.
No problem with the kmc links.
been using a 9spd powerlink on an XT 10 spd chain, cassette, mech without any issues, will probably change to a 10 spd when i can be bothered
I have used a 9SPD SRAM link on both Shimano and SRAM 10SPD chains with no issues...not buying SRAM 10SPD ones as I'll not get them off without buying yet another tool.
Fenboy:
Do you do much climbing as in put a lot of stress on your chain n link?
Didnt realise you could use 9 speed linkson ten speed chains.
I can see why this would work because the internal spacing is the same and the difference in outer sizing can not be more than the amount a connector pin sticks out once snapped off.
Cool
I got some new 9 speed ones so give that a try tomo
thanks for some good advice all feel like im in the knowa bit more
bit peed off going ten speed anyway my sc superlight still 9 speed and faultless but lbs sorta advised me its the way forward
