WAY cheaper than an SRAM Red group from Performance or Competitive Cyclist, etc.
As for the chain, there are currently NO quick links (or 10 speed chain) that will work well with the 11 speed drivetrain. I tried a Super Link, and wound up going back to the rivets and Campy tool (which is a work of art in itself).
I wondered if there was a work around for the Campy 11 speed chain...or perhaps a way to use it with a different master link or chain tool. Sounds like the chain and tool is the price you pay for Campy 11s which most seem to think is worth it.
