KMCA0 KMC MISSINGLINK 10R

gran herramienta para no dejar de rodar. KMC siempre han sido de calidad. sus missing links son compatibles con todas las cadenas. útil y fácil.

Works very well, just make sure that both sides of the link are free of any debris as the tolerances are quite small. I wax my chain and had a bit of a struggle to reassemble the link, but I would rather have these tight tolerances than not. Has worked flawlessly with my Shimano Ultegra 10 spd. chain. With the multipack I am able to have a couple of chains ready for a longer ride if the current one needs to be cleaned/ rewaxed and don't have the time at present to do so. Definitely recommend!

I'm not completely convinced about these links so far. I had one fail on me after 1 week but will update the review if they prove reliable.

I hate to need to break chains in order to clean them or replace them. These KMC Missing Links are the ticket for two reasons: They assemble and disassemble without a special tool and they are nickel covered so as not to rust into place. I typically use Wipperman chains when I replace the OEM chain that comes with my bikes. They are very expensive. This past chain-change out I did on my Fargo bike required me to break the chain in order to do a rear derailleur changeout. I could not get the SRAM link out even using a Park Tool Park Tool Master Link Plier - MLP-1C it was stuck together. I had to purchase another chain and I also, at the same time, purchased the KMC since it says it is compatible with both KMC and Shimano chains. Since Shimano is compatible with SRAM, the logic carries over... I attached the chain and the master link and I'm finished. I might add that I purchased a SRAM chain and I could NOT get their master link to completely close just like I couldn't get SRAM's master link to fully open on the old chain. So I'm glad that I had the KMC link available. As far as long term use is concerned, I have a chain with a KMC Missing Link on a Specialized Roubaix with a SRAM chain on it that has at least 5000 miles on it without any problems with the link. Now the chain itself is getting to the point of having to be replaced because the shifting is starting to have problems, but the link is still there doing its stated job. I don't know why those who write say that the link does not last, I would suggest its not the link that is the problem but the whole chain. The chains on a bike is a part that needs constant care and it is not something that you do "once a year." Every month you should make an effort to clean it while its on the bike to get rid of road dirt. After every ride, especially if you are on a dirty street or road, you should wipe it off and spray some WD 40 on it to remove any water and then re-lube it. The other problem that occurs in chains is that they will stretch over time. You will need a ruler that will gauge how much it has stretched. Park Tool Chain Wear Indicator in order to determine whether or not you need to replace your chain. Every year (Every month with dirty riding, at the very least) you MUST take your chain off your bike and thoroughly clean it with a good solvent and then re-grease it. This is where the MIssing LInk really pays for itself. Other manufacturer's missing link can be very expensive, this is a less expensive alternative.

Secure. Easy to connect/disconnect with chain look tool. 6-pack is a very good deal. Always carry a spare in my saddle bag just in case my chain breaks.
