Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Masterlink for Shimano chains

Well I have seen several people lately ask what people are using if they are using a masterlink for Shimano 10s chains. Today I got an email from Glory Cycles and one of their new products is an IRD masterlink for Shimano chains so I figured I would post it here.

I think Forester Products has the too. I picked mine up for 9 spd Campy and Shmano and also a 10spd Campy. I would imagine they would also have the Simano 10 spd link.

I use both a Whipperman 9 sp & 10 sp Connex link on my two bikes and have been very happy with them as well.

Do regular old 5/6 speed chain tools work on these chains?

SRAM Powerlink on the 9, Wipperman Connex on the 10. Never had a problem.

The cost of the narrow 10 speed Shimano links are crazy; $10.90 for a master link? I'm praying SRAM keep their 10 speed chains in the same ball park as their 9 speed stuff.
