I'm going back several years and just making some assumptions due to that...and realizing I was dumb for not fact-checking...but it seems that I must have read that the SRAM links were reusable on Amazon (the product page currently says so). A statement which I am now finding to be likely false, though the actual packaging of my SRAM Powerlocks says nothing about not reusing them. Now, it is also possible that I am simply recalling my decision-making process incorrectly and that I did indeed fact check and decided to go with the SRAM links just because (maybe availability at the time?). Anyway, apologies to anyone whom I confused with my 'reusable' comment as I cannot back it up. Nor have I ever removed any of those 11-speed links in use for that matter!

Now as far as a SRAM link being compatible with a Campy chain, again, I can't recall how I determined it would fit. More than likely I just took a chance given the fairly small expenditure and low risk. I've mixed and matched plenty of quick links over the years.
