I bought a Record 10 speed chain at a good price which i plan to use with a KMC missing link. Do I need to use a Campag chain tool just to shorten the chain?

    I managed to remove links easily on the same chain with a standard chain tool and then joined it with the KMC link.

    Not sure exactly how much that is in U.S. dollars but, WOW. Bunch of money for something that comes on a multi tool. Then again if you want a SHOP quality tool, well ...
