shimano ultegra 10sp chain with wipperman link

[[email protected]]

I just bought a new shimano ultegra 10 sp chain for the tandem. I had
a 2 year old 10sp wipperman chain laying around that I used on my campy
road bike. I read posts that the wipperman link works nicely on
shimano chains.

My wipperman link would not fit. Did something change?

I don't know what you mean by 'don't fit'but there are 2 wipperman 10
speed links. A 6.2 mm and a 6.0 mm. For Shimano 10 speed and Campagnolo
Ultra Narrow chains you have to use the 6.0 mm one.

The pin on the wipperman link was to large in diameter to fit into the
hole in the shimano chain.

When I bought this wipperman chain I do not think there was a specific
campy or shimano link available. Could it be that the older wipperman
link is different from what is now available?

But, they both work fine. Even a Sram Powerlink II gold works with
the Shimano 10sp chain. I've been using that combo for a couple of
years.
