I use the SRAM 9-speed Powerlink on my Campagnolo 10-speed chain. No problems at all.

What kind of link was used to close the chain?? Campy first used the so called Permalink, but that
was replaced last year by the HDL link which is much better. For the first time ever, I "broke" a
chain this spring - the Permalink simply fell apart after 7 months of use.

I have never heard about a ShimaNO 'power link', as far as I know they use 'HG connecting pins'.
Powerlinks are made by SRAM, who also makes the PC 99 Hollowpin chain that can be used by a 10 speed
system. You could also try the Wipperman Conex 10 link (and chain?).

Not a shimano one but an IRD or Connex one.

IRD/Connex, or use the provided Campagnolo push thru pin, installed correctly

Thanks to all of you for the education.

I really appreciate it.
