I wanted to installed a 11 spd connector on my 11 spd shimano chain, but the connector did not seat properly on both ends.
In other words, the pin did not seat properly at the end of the side plates on both ends; it is as if the holes on the plates are too small for the groove in the pin.
Then I looked at a new 11 spd KMC chain's connector, and it had the same problem.
I'm not sure if it would settle properly once tension is applied to the chain, but if it did could you then remove the connector if you wanted to?
I have never seen this happening before on 9 or 10 spd connectors that I have used.
Am I missing something here.
Any info is welcomed.
