Thanks for the help! Can you confirm the one link that is slightly different colored on my Shimano chain is the master link? Basically, if I wanted to take the pain in the @ss route that would be the link to remove the pin and reinstall a new one, right? I'm definitely going with the Powerlink but just as an fyi would like to know what the master link (slightly different colored) is? Would it matter if I removed the master link and replaced it with the Powerlink? Or should I break it somewhere other than the master link? Also, since I'm technically adding a link with the Powerlink, I need to remove a link from the Shimano, right? Sorry for all the newb questions. Thanks again guys!
