  1. Sorry if this has been discussed previously.

    I am a big fan of using the cheapest chain/sprocket combo that gives good
    results. I am getting ready to replace the drivetrain on my Campy Chorus 10
    setup. I see that Colorado Cyclist is selling the Ultegra 6600 10-Speed
    Chain for $27.99. Also the web site is claiming that you need to install
    with a Shimano Chain tool though I would like to use the Wipperman link to
    hold it together.

    Will this setup work well? I have heard that Shimano10 speed chains work
    well with Campy 10 drive trains (cassette will be Veloce 10)

    Campy has changed their 10-speed chain width spec to roughly that of
    Shimano. Feel free to mix and match. Make sure you're using the
    Shimano-spaced Wipperman link, although some have reported using the
    6.2mm Campy-spaced link and surviving.

    I'm using a Wipperman chain with my 10sp Chorus rig now and have an IRD
    in waiting. I'm not a big Shimano chain fan. Either way what ever you
    use I agree with the other reply, use the Wipperman link.

    It will and use the 6.05 wipperman link, that'll be fine as well. ALL
    10s chains are now 5.9mm, all inter-work with each other, shimano,
    Sram, Campagnolo, Wipperman, KMC, etc.

    I would stay with the Campy chain since a Veloce chain is only $32.50
    online - delivered. Also, I have found that the Campy chains last longer
    than the Shimano chains.
