This may have been asked many, many, many times before....

But; does the KMC Shimano 10 speed Chain Connector fit correctly to the XT (type) HGX 10 speed directional chain?

I have 10 speed Shimano road chains, and have read there is no issue with them....but I believe they are different to the directional HGX chain.

Any help I would appreciate...As I am off on a 3 dayer up to the 7Stanes and am filling the tool box with essentials (just in case)!!

Thanks, Johnny

    Yes, fine. As you say it's been asked repeatedly, a search would likely have told you this!

    I installed a KMC connector link on two bikes, one with 10 speed SLX and one with 10 speed XT, both were fine.

    To confirm, KMC 10 speed (and other speeds, respectively) Missing Links (PN: CL559 and CL559R) can be used across all 10 speed systems.
