chain connector advice please

caradale

I have just moved to 11 speed and would appreciate some advice and recommendations for a reusable 11 speed link for a Ultegra chain.
I remember when I last got some for a 10 speed the correct product was a 9 speed kmc (or something like that) so just want to make sure I get the right thing. thanks Andy

The KMC 11sp Links are not reusable. http://www.kmcchain.eu/products-connectors-missing_links
Wippermann make one if you can find a stockist. http://www.connexchain.com/en/product/connex-link.html

You shouldn't have been using a 9 speed link with a 10 speed chain.
KMC 10 speed links come in reusable and non reusable versions.
As above, the 11 speed ones are all non reusable

I've a spare 11 speed KMC connector (come in packs of 2) if anyone needs one?

I'm concentrating on clearing out tiny cheap things to justify to my wife why it's not bad I've just bought an Edge 520....

Thanks

The KMC 11sp links may be "non reusable" but I and others have re-used them and had zero issues. I change the link when I change the chain, and will remove the links a few times over the course of the chains life for cleaning etc.
