Anyone know if you can buy Sram road chains with power links that'll work well with 10 speed Campag set ups?

Cheers

Yup, they do a 10speed one as well as KMC, think they call it the Missing link.

Right thanks, also forgive me for being thick but I have no knowledge of road components - can you use a KMC or Sram chain with Campag gears?

I'm running a SRAM 10-speed chain on my training bike with a campag groupset. It has lasted a lot longer and is a lot quieter than the Mavic chain I used before. The only thing to bear in mind is that the SRAM power link is a single use item unlike the KMC equivalent.

Sorry missed the last bit. KMC do campag specific chains (I run one on my race bike). The SRAM chain works without problem (although the Sheldon Brown claims its the route to hell to mix and match SRAM with Campag)

Yep, as Richie said, SRAM 10 speed chains don't have Power Links, they have Power Locks, single use jobbies. KMC is your answer.
