Shimano has a joining pin, not quick link.
KMC has a quick link.
Both new and never removed from packaging.
£18 each posted to standard UK address.
£15 each collected from Blackburn, Lancashire.
Looking at getting a KMC X9 9 speed chain.
Trying to decide between the 3 options below:
Prices are roughly:
£11 - 13ish for no coating
£17ish for half nickel plating
£20ish for full nickel plating
Anyone have any experience with any of these?
Is the extra price for the nickel plating worth...
I've bought a few KMC chains over the last year.
The Z7's I've bought for the MTB have been boxed thus.
But the X9 I just bought from the same vendor, turned up in a bar coded plastic bag despite being advertised as being boxed the same as the Z7?
It looks exactly the same as the chain it's...
Free to a good home - KMC quick links CL566r, one silver & one gold. Unsued but in cut down, opened and taped up again blister packs as I had no idea what they were when I found them in the spares box this afternoon.
First to reply on here will get them and will be posted once I've nicked an...
I need to remove about 6 links from a new KMC chain. Which side of the chain do I push on with the tool to force the pin out. Smooth side of pipe or dimpled?
Thanks for any advice.
I'm looking at one of these for my cheap hack as I've seen one at a seemingly good price:
However, I'll need to remove and refit the chain regularly. The supplier has confirmed that it has a quicklink included, however have failed to comment on how reuseable this is - and looking at the...
Do KMC SL/EL 11-speed chains come with a missing link or do you have to purchase separately?Their website doesn't clearly state yes or no.I generally use SRAM chains and they do(or did).
Cheers!
After some serious climbs and sprints over the past few weeks, I noticed an occasional ticking noise from my drive train but, have only discovered the cause tonight, whilst giving the bike a routine check over.
Bike : 2017 Giant Propel.
Speed : Shimano 11 speed (50/34 - 11/28).
OEM chain I...
Came to give my bike the once over before setting out for a ride on Sunday. Brand new KMC X10.93 chain fitted (now called simply X10, the new black/silver type in the hard plastic case) and quick link that came with the chain in the box. Lubed chain, cleaned off excess, checked brakes, gears...
I ordered a new KMC X10 - 93 chain (£13) and it arrived today. The box it came in simply has 'X10' on it. The chain is also black and silver on every other link.. I first thought that they had sent me the wrong, and cheaper X10 - 73 chain due to the price and looks. I thought I'd been scammed...
I know there are a few fans of KMC on here so I thought I might try them.
Am interested in the cheapest one which is good - not interested in cosmetic finishes.
As an example of my approach I have long used SRAM - I use the one up from the bottom as it's my understanding that at this point a...
I want to lengthen a new chain slightly and i gather it's more common for people to shorten. I think a couple would be sufficient, so if anyone has a few knocking about they don't need i'd be glad to buy them. Thanks.
Are KMC chains Shimano compatible?
I'm looking at this chain for my 10sp Shimano setup - http://www.wiggle.co.uk/kmc-x10-93-10-speed-chain/
Many thanks

About 4 months ago I fitted a new KMC Z7 to my Hybrid bike today I checked it for wear and I could not believe what I saw It was very badly worn and needs to be replaced . surely something not right here that it could have worn out in such a short time
I always keep the chain on the biggest...
For sale:
Shimano Ultegra 6700 shifters, good condition, scratched on levers but no scratches or damage to hoods or outsides from crashes.
Ultegra 6700 brakes with almost new Swisstop green pads..
Ultegra 6700 front and short-cage rear derailleur. Rear has some rather expensive alloy jockey...
so 9 and 10 speed KMC links are reuseable, but 11 speed are 'single use'!
has anyone tried reusing an 11sp KMC link? Will it fail to work properly after the first time of joining and splitting?
