Superlinks



If you're using Campy or Shimano chains your best bet for a re-useable link is the Forster (formerly Craig) SuperLink. In general, the SuperLink III (Green Card) works with Campy 10spd; SuperLink II (Pink Card) works with 9 speed, SuperLink I (Yellow Card) works with 8/7 speed.

They are available at Branford bike for $7.95/ea (ouch). http://www.branfordbike.com/chains/chains4.html#item5

But, unless you're buying something else from Branford, save $2 or $3 by buying them from Lickton's: http://www.lickbike.com/i0338150.htm

Spare chainlinks are usually needed for fixing timing chains and also come in handy when you've forgotten to replenish Superlinks used to fix your own chains or for good samaritan repairs.
