Which Chain

I put a Veloce compact chainset on my bike last night and struggled to shorten the chain as I couldn't get the rivets back into the Campagnolo chain as neatly as manufactured. I'm considering a new chain and would like to get one with some sort of replaceable link. My bike is equiped with 9 speed Campagnolo equipment so what chain would you recommend for me?

Cheers,

Gavin.

    Rohloff chain with SRAM powerlink 8)
    An MTBer, but with skinny wheel tendencies...

    Any chain that's Campag 9 speed compatible will do, SRAM, KMC and Rohloff all do nice ones. It'll depend on you budget I suppose as you can spend anywhere between £10 and £30 on a chain. I fully agree with Rohloff-Rich definitely go for the powerlink type connector it makes splitting the chain for maintenance a breeze.

    try a powerlink on your current chain - it may be fine, and cheaper than a new chain.

    I've used powerflinks on Shimano and SRAM chains - never had a problem.
