Best 10 Speed Shimano Chain Connector?
After 35000 miles and many 10 speed Shimano chain changes with Shimano pins, I have had a failure. Chain was skipping occasionally, and found the connector pin out on the non drive side. Lucky I found it or I might have a case of the "Blue Balls" and/or broken bones.
So now I am done with the pins, and want to start using connectors.
What do you think are the best choice for 10 speed Shimano chains? I do not care about "One Time Use" as I never take my chain off for cleaning.
Thanks in advance for the great info I know I will get!!

You know not to re-use the same hole for a second replacement pin? I.e. never replace a replacement pin - it enlarges the hole slightly and the third pin might not stay in so well...
Good as Wipperman is (and they're good), I'd stick with the Shimano connectors for your app.
