Is their a chain with reuseable link like sram's 9 speed chains? I know they have one 10sp chain which requires a replaceable link like Shimano.

The Flash skygodmatt 05-12-2007, 09:06 AM I found that a DA chain works the best with Sram and Shimano drive trains. jimy 01-15-2008, 12:40 PM hi flash i just bought a new 1090r chain to replace my wipperman chain which had a real easy to remove and reuse masterlink? is it as easy to do it with the sram powerlock link? i didn't need a pliers with the wipperman connex link. jimbo The Flash 01-15-2008, 12:48 PM PowerLock links are supposed to be a 1 time use....I use my Wipperman master link on my SRAM chain with no problem.... sbindra 01-15-2008, 01:51 PM I am 225 lbs. and rode a Shimano chain with a connex link for 6,000 miles until the chain finally busted. It was not the connex link that failed. orlin03 01-15-2008, 03:11 PM I can't recommend this, since there is a good chance I'm just lucky, but I have reused the link on my 1090R once already (about 250 miles ago) with no problems, and I climb hard regularly. I think I do remember now that the info said it was not reusable... I love the simplicity of the design. |
