If you don't use the quick links on current KMC chains, what do you use?
Do you use Shimano's specific joining pins? They work well on Shimano chains but I don't know if they are compatible with other makes.
Or, do you reuse a standard pin by pushing it partly out and then back in as was the technique back in 5 and 6-speed days? I hope not because with 8+ speed chains that's a chain failure waiting to happen.
