  • Been using one on my bike - all shimano 9 spd drivetrain (SLX & XT) - for about two years. No complaints!

    I've just found a silver powerlink in my camelbak and tried it on my HG73 chain, and the link pin is too short. Are there different types?

    Thanks..

    Silver = 7/8 speed
    Gold = 9 speed
    Black = 10 speed PowerLock
