if the chain is not too old, get a master link. when you say popped a chain, what exactly do you mean? what kind of chain was it? 10 speed? today on a climb, I saw a guy on the side of the road messing with his 10 speed chain (at least I thought it was a 10 speed chain because I saw the 10 speed DA crank).

I personally don't like the whole concept of 10 speed. for the most part what you get is another cog, but you range is not increased, just another cog within the range that shimano and campy already offer. the cogs are thinner and chains are thinner. they are wear out faster and cost more than 9 speed. plus they are more likely to break...imho.
