Price Paid:  $2500.00 at Oswald cycle works

Favorite Ride:
Oswald

Bike Setup:
Campy 10 speed Chorus.

Summary:
Installing the perma link is NOT rocket science. Anyone who buys the expensive Campy tool just has money to burn or has bought into the Campy hype. I use a $2 beam clamp and have NEVER had a problem.

Strengths:
Works well.

Weaknesses:
Too expensive. Not reusuable. Poor design. Use an SRAM 9 speed link like I have for the last 2 years.

Similar Products Used:
SRAM power link

Price Paid:  $12.00 at Mail order

Favorite Ride:
Anytime I'n on the bike

Bike Setup:
Columbus Brain, classic lugged steel. Campy Record 10 speed

Summary:
Permalink: an example of poor engineering. Complicated to install, expensive to buy. Requires special dedicated tool for a relatively simple function.

Strengths:
It does join the chain well. Never broke (of course neither have other systems).

Weaknesses:
Bad design. Special tool costs 70 bucks, link itself 12 or so. That is an expensive proposition if you like to remove your chain for cleaning.

Similar Products Used:
Sachs, Rohloff, others
