As title, or does the SRAM one work?
Thanks in advance
KMC made shimano chains I believe.
Yes, ime they all work. I even carry a few SRAM links with me even though I run shimano chains (9&10 speed). There are different sizes for different speed systems.
I've been using KMC reusable missing links with a 9 speed Shimano drivetrain (XT chain) for a year now. No issues to report.
Have used KMC missing links on a 10 spd Shimano chain. Work fine
I happen to have a shimano chain I cut too short so I added a few spare kmc and sram quick links to extend it - it's still working 9 months later 😆
Excellent , thanks
As an emergency, even a 9 spd quick link will work.
Decathlon 10 spd links are actually KMC links (etched into the link) and are £3.99 for a pair!!!
I used a SRAM quick link on a KMC chain and the very next day I had a bad bacon butty. Bacon was too fatty, bun was dry and not enough brown sauce.
Make of this what you will but I'll not make the same mistake again.
Just a note on the Decathlon links, I bought a pair and tried them on two separate Shimano 10 speed chains, but couldn't get them to fit. No big deal since it was only £4 but I did get sent an email from Decathlon's website asking me to rate the product and I wrote a review saying they didn't fit and got a reply saying they are for SRAM chains only.
Comparing the link to another KMC 10 Speed link I subsequently bought, there seems to be a tiny difference in the height of the pins, but the markings on the plates are identical.
Might just be my experience, but thought it worth mentioning.
