I have a new bike with a Campag Centaur compact groupset. My question is about the chain.

With my MTBs, I have always used a SRAM chain with a powerlink for quick removal (cleaning and changing etc). Is there an equivalent for a road bike with the above groupset?

Thanks in advance

Mike.

    Yes - just look for any campag 10 speed link - there are different makes but I don't think campag make one themselves. I think I use a KMC one.

    it's a hard life if you don't weaken.

    The 10 speed SRAM link is a single-use affair whereas the likes of the KMC and Connex are multiple-use, so would be my choice.
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

    Yes, you could use a Connex ten speed link. If you have a 2007/2008 group, you need the 5.9mm wide one, which, confusingly, might be labelled Shimano compatible.

    Thanks for the replies.

    I've found a couple of KMC and Connex chains on web stores, but confusingly, they don't seem to mention the width. I want to make sure I don't get the 6.2mm ones.
