New Campy 10 SP Chain

Need to replace my chain, see the new ones take a different tool than before. Not that I ever bought
the old tool, used vice grips. What's the trick with the new master link to secure it without buying
"the tool"?

Thanks

 

Don't use it, get a 10sp Wipperman link made for the Campy chain or order a Superlink III for the
Campy chain. I've used both, only got about 1500 - 2000 miles on the Superlink before it started to
click and make noise. Just installed the Wipperman one 2 weeks ago so I can't give a report onit
yet. "Wantagofast" <[email protected]> wrote in message

The newest Campagnolo chain uses a push thru pin, ala shimano, that really doesn't need a Campagnolo
chain tool, altho using one makes it easier to get the pin in straight.

But I recommend a IRD 10s snaplink, with eithr an IRD 10s chain or the Campagnolo 10s chain...

I'm generally a Campagnolo kind of guy, but for chain you might want to look at another brand. Get
one with a snap link such as Wippermann, KMC, etc.
