If it is the latter, you need the Park MLP-1, since the powerLOCK latches firmly when closed.
The MLP-1 also makes removing the 9s link easier.
True dat. I've never had a problem with opening 8 and 9 speed SRAM chains by hand. Yesterday, I just installed my first 10s chain on a new bike I'm building. Man, was that black Powerlock thingy
stiff! No way I'm getting that thing off by hand. An MLP-1 is now on order. I also did not know that the Powerlock is
one-time use only.
