So i've swithcing to Campy and have never used a campy chain... (always had issues setting apin in shimano, so i switched to sram and the power link)... is there anyting equivalent to a powerlink for campy so that I can easily remove the chain for cleaning etc.... does wipperman work on campy? thanks for any info.
You could get a Campy chain and a Wipperman link, but now there is ambiguity in which link to use because the 2006 version of the Campy chains are slightly more narrow. I did read one account of someone using a 2006 Record chain with the Shimano version of the Wipperman link. C-40 reported that the 2006 Record chain with the Campy Wipperman link is a sloppy fit.
I just skip all of this and use a Wipperman chain. I get excellent mileage out of the stainless 10X1 version. Yes, they are more expensive but they wear well. I came to Campy about 2 years ago, after many years of Shimano with SRAM Powerlink chains. I have no complaints with the Wipperman.
At some point, SRAM will release its 10spd chain. Hopefully it will be of the same quality as the 8/9 speed chains and cheaper than Wipperman.
