Hi

Can anyone recommend a reusable quick-release chainlink for a SRAM 1090 chain? One that lets you remove the chain for cleaning/maintenance without having to pop/replace any pins? I've seen a KMC chainlink on Wiggle but have read the clearances/measurements aren't that great for a SRAM chain.

Thanks

    sungod, thanks. Do you find it easy to install/use?

    easy to fit, takes a few seconds

    removal takes a little practice, link pliers make it very easy

    And +1 for the KMC Link pliers. Makes removal easier than an easy thing.
