strength of 10 speed chains

I wouldn't change over one bad experience. If it happens again maybe change. Maybe look for alternatives like Wipperman or Miche.

Chain is not supposed to come off. It's oprator error or bad adjustment.Don't blame it on the chain.

Ive had another look and where the new link goes the chain has bent, so I suspect it may not have been put together correctly.What are those "no tool" chains like?Are they reliable and are they available for 10 speed systems?

Chains are way stronger than they even need to be... in the right plane. When you dump one, and put tons of pressure on a link from the side, of course it's not as tough as you'd like.

The tool-free chains are awesome. I have a Wippermann link in my Campy 10sp and it has already come in handy on the road. Works perfectly.
