HG73 is 8 or 9sp? I can't remember. Doesn't really matter. Get the corresponding 8 or 9sp SRAM link and it will work nicely on the Shimano chain. No more of those damned rivets to worry about. Easy on-off for cleaning. Don't however, get the Conex link, which doesn't work on 12 and 11T cogs, in my (and others') experience).
