  1. I'm having persistent problems with the new Shimano DuraAce 7800 10-speed
    chain. The link connector does NOT want to stay in. I've popped this link on
    two new chains in a row, this after six years and 40-50 of the older,
    nine-speed Shimano chains never having a problem.

    I'm looking at Wipperman, about the only other 10-speed chain out there, and
    i"m wondering which model works with DuraAce. The 1011 lightweight actually
    SAYS it is compatible on the performancebike.com site, but other sites seem
    to say there is no difference between this and the 10X1 model other than
    weight.

    Anyone out there using after-market vendors for DuraAce 10-speed? Wipperman
    has a very good reputation as a Campy 10-speed replacement. I'm willing to
    pay the extra money if it is more reliable.

    I haven't used the 10-speed version yet, but the KMC "X"-series 9-speed
    chain has been wonderful, and they just came out with the 10-speed model.
    They run about $40 (or a bit less) so it's a reasonable alternative, and
    uses a quick-connect link. The Wipperman's, in my opinion, aren't as good
    shifting up front as the Shimano or KMC chains.
