Looking on Chain Reaction Cycles
Sram 11.99 for 2
KMC 9.49 looks like for 1

Seems expensive when you can have a complete KMC 11 speed chain for 22.49

Managed to fix my last 2 breaks by removing 2 links and pushing the ordinary pin back through.

Not sure how long this method of fixing lasts though.

What do you use?

Decathlon 2 for £8.

The BTwin links are made by KMC and have KMC stamped on them.

Sometimes indefinitely, sometimes a few pedal strokes.

9s links work fine on 10s, would they not work on 11?

I used a 10s one on my road bike for 6months, made no difference apart from it being slightly nosier.

Sram ones should be £3.50- £3.75 each most places, as that's the RRP!

Went for the ebay option, knowing ebay, they are probably not genuine Sram but will give them a shot 2.91 each posted from Taiwan with free postage.

The KMC links on CRC are actually for 2 not one although it's not very clear on their webby.

Still silly money though.

As with thisisnotaspoon above,I have been running a 9s Sram link in a 10s Sram chain with no problem at all. Spare BBB 10s link carried in Camelbak if it all goes boobies up!. 🙂
