Campagnolo Perma-Link Chains


  • Average Rating: 2/5
  • MSRP: $ 14.99
  • # of Reviews: 2

Product Description

With a ten-speed drivetrain, the tolerances don’t allow a ten-speed chain to be opened and closed the standard way. Campagnolo designed and patented a special link that closes the chain permanently. Perma-Link ensures tensile and strip-out strength even greater than Campagnolo’s 9-speed chain. Perma-Link is required to break and re-close the Campagnolo 10-speed chain.

Strengths:    Works well.

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

Bottom Line:   
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:    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.

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