Campy 10s chain removal/reinstallation

Can I remove and reinstall a Campy 10s chain by
partially pushing out the hollow pin with a chain tool
and then pushing it back in when I put it back on? I've
done that for years on other chains for cleaning
purposes and was wondering if there is some reason I
shouldn't do it on Campy 10.

Thanks, Wayne

 

I would never do that. Get yourself a Wipperman 10sp link to use on your
Campy chain. That is what I use.

I've ridden like that for two years without problems. I
switched to SRAM 9 speed Gold PowerLinks then, much easier
to connect the chain and i get them for free at my LBS when
i buy some other stuff.

I also use a wipperman nickel 10 chain. Easy on off, no
tools, runs smooth.

No they are not designed to do this and you may break the
chain there when riding. Use the supplied push thru pin or
use a snap link like the Connex one.
