For single speed there are two pin lengths. These correspond to the width of the chain. You either have a 3/32" (narrow) or 1/8" (wide) chain.

You just need to know if you have a narrow or wide chain and the LBS should be able to sell you the correct links or you can order it online.

I am 100% certain that if you have a wide 1/8" chain then the KMC brand missing link you need is CL-555.
