Just b*ggered the stock Shimano HG chain that came with the new 9 speed Giant FCR 2.

I'm looking for a new one thats quick to stick on/take off, possibly a SRAM with a powerlink?

Any suggestions would be welcome!

    What did you do to the chain?

    SRAM 9 speed chain with powerlink will work fine. By the way, you can fit a SRAM powerlink to shimano 9 speed chains too - I'm using a powerlinked HG53 at the moment.

    I tried to remove a rivot with a normal rivot extractor. The threads in the tool were striped and the links wouldn't move. So out came the hacksaw!!!

    I might try to salvage the rest & stick a powerlink on.

    Personally I'd use a KMC chain
