DuraAce 10-speed chain
I'm having persistent problems with the new Shimano DuraAce 7800 10-speed
chain. The link connector does NOT want to stay in. I've popped this link on two new chains in a row, this after six years and 40-50 of the older, nine-speed Shimano chains never having a problem. I'm looking at Wipperman, about the only other 10-speed chain out there, and i"m wondering which model works with DuraAce. The 1011 lightweight actually SAYS it is compatible on the performancebike.com site, but other sites seem to say there is no difference between this and the 10X1 model other than weight. Anyone out there using after-market vendors for DuraAce 10-speed? Wipperman has a very good reputation as a Campy 10-speed replacement. I'm willing to pay the extra money if it is more reliable. |

I haven't used the 10-speed version yet, but the KMC "X"-series 9-speed chain has been wonderful, and they just came out with the 10-speed model. They run about $40 (or a bit less) so it's a reasonable alternative, and uses a quick-connect link. The Wipperman's, in my opinion, aren't as good shifting up front as the Shimano or KMC chains. --Mike-- Chain Reaction Bicycles http://www.ChainReactionBicycles.com "Tom Rodgers" <ironmantexas@yahoo.com> wrote in message news  JLnc.7145$WE3.4967@newssvr24.news.prodigy.com...> I'm having persistent problems with the new Shimano DuraAce 7800 10-speed > chain.
