School boy error with power link???

mcflyss

Hi guys,

I bought this http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/SRAM_PowerLock_10_Speed_Chain_Connector_-_Pack_Of_4/5360040852/

But on both my road and MTB I have 9 cogs at the rear... does this mean these will not fit?
Sorry this is prob a real NOOOOOB Q I know, but i just dont know!!!

You need the same link, but made for a 9-speed chain instead of a 10-speed one. Possibly return it? Wiggle are good for that (unless you've opened it).


And no - they won't work for you.

Thank you mate, i cant seem to find it on there web site though... I think that is why i made the mistake as there was only one... made an assumption.

the power-lock isn't reusable either

for sram look for power-link

bizarrely wiggle sell them as single links...

http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/SRAM_ ... 300003847/

...so you'd need two of the gold ones for 9-speed

kmc's missing link is the same sort of thing, and they come as a pair...

If you have opened them and can't return them to Wiggle i will buy them off you for a fair price
Let me know.
