Bicycle Mechanics - Shimano 105 10 speed chain quick link - will this work?

Hi all,

I want to add a quick link to my chain so I can clean it better, I have searched but haven't found any conclusive answer.

Will this work (obviously the shimano version not the campy one!)?

Also how do I install it, do I just pop one link out with a chain tool then put this one in its place?

Thanks

Daven

Yep. I have the same drive train and use a KMC missing link to rotate two chains.

many thanks :)

SRAM link will work also.

thanks, but I thought the 10 speed sram links were not reusable. I want to be able to remove my chain for cleaning.

All you need is the Park MLP-1 to remove them. They only want you to *think* they are not reusable.

Some specific 10 speed sram masterlinks are for installation only. Such as the powerlock.

The MLP-1 will even take off the 'installation only' red powerlinks too. It's also very useful for standard removable ones - not completely necessary, but it sure makes life easier.

Here is the Superlink patent which SRAM has been licensing:

Note the prominent use of the word "reusable" in the patent.

Any remaining questions about why SRAM decided to start producing "non-reusable" links?
