as title ? moving from 9 to 10 speed setup. I presume they are different to my 10 speed road KMC and YBN ones ?

Thanks

I doubt they are different. IIRC The 105 chain is identical to the Deore XT I think?

I gave up and just bought a sram chain instead.... lol

interesting faz, thanks

my new MTB setup is 10 speed XT. I have some YBN QR10 ones, which say on pack they are 'for 5.88mm 10 speed chains'

I also have some KMC 'Missing Links' which say 'perfectly connecting Shimano 10 speed chains'

...maybe they will work ?

No difference, just use KMC ones as they are reusable as opposed to the SRAM 10 speed links which are as tricky as trying to split the atom to get apart

+1 KMC powerlinks...Think you can get a pack of 10 from vanilla bikes for a tenner.

Edit - actually 7.99!

That's a pack of 2, not 10....

The 10 refers to 10 speed... Otherwise it's a bargain!

Decathlon sell them cheap, in own brand packaging, but the links have KMC stamped on them!!

Aaaah...correct pack of 2 (though I got a pack of 10 from Amazon for £13).
