this is a 2 part question.
back when i was using shimano groupset, i recall chains were directional. can't tell if SRAM 1091R (10speed) is directional or not as not marks on there. just wanted to make sure because when i back pedal, the rear cassette will drop to a lower gear. i know now suppose to backpedal.. but never seen that happen before on my road bike with SRAM RED group. this group is the XO.
also, i have an old Wippermann Connex Stainless Link - 10-Speed from my Dura Ace chain that i'd like to use on this SRAM 1091Rh chain. is that ok? i've read some version of Wippermann Connex have different width which may work but a bit loose on the SRAM 1091R chain.
what do you think?
TIA
