Yes, but a Topeak chainbreaker would weigh about as much as your cell phone. You aren't going to tell me that you also don't carry a pump and spare tube or patch kit, are you?

I've been using KMC chains, 8 and 10 speed, with the missing link for the last 5 years and have had good luck with them. My multi-tool has a chain breaker, and I carry a spare missing link in my tool bag.
