Which powerlink for Wipperman singlespeed chain?

GyatsoLa

I've fitted a Wipperman Intrax chain for singlespeeds and hub gears onto my Rohloff equipped bike:

The only spare powerlink connections that seem to be available from Wipperman (looking at various websites) are for 8, 9 and 10 speed chains. I want to get a couple of spares for touring.

Anyone know if the 8 speed link will work? Or a SRAM powerlink for 8 speed (they don't seem to be available for singlespeed either).

I run an 8-speed chain (KMC) and use a 9-speed link (Wipperman) and haven't experienced any problems. So it is doable...

Not sure what you mean by "single speed"? I ride a single-speed with 3/32 chain, are you looking for something for a 1/8 chain?

Its a 3/32 chain, but its designed primarily for use with hub or singlespeed set ups:

mroli, yes, thats the type of thing I'm looking for - I'm hoping Connex have something similar.
