The_Break Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) Nothing in the local Shimano agent stocklist either....c'mon. Do tell. There is your problem! SA does not have all the goods! http://techdocs.shimano.com/media/techdocs/content/cycle/SI/SI_0047A/SI-0047A-001_ENG_v1_m56577569830679638.pdf Edited January 4, 2011 by The_Break
Johan Bornman Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Even in teh technical notes section of the catalogue, dealing with chain installation, they show only pins, no quick links? For what chains are those links intended?

I've never seen it. Even their International catalogue doesn't show it. Did you buy any of these in ZA?
The_Break Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Thanks, this is a first for me. I've never seen it. Even their International catalogue doesn't show it. Did you buy any of these in ZA? After a long wait and a lot of phonecalls I rocked up to my LBS to find one waiting for me. It worked really well for me. I guess it is like trying to source a set screw for a caliper, you have to know the right people. I have mostly worked through a bikeshop in Germany when I need "exotic" parts like this. They can get anything and are super jacked. One of the mechs eventually got a job on CSC team. The guys know there stuff there so it is a pleasure dealing with them. Local Shimano guys do the basics and not very well I must ad. That's why I import all my goods because small things like a tool for big blade bolts take 10 weeks to arrive.

Comes with the 7900 chain I think. But the pins work better. Looks like the quicklink wears prematurely with dirty conditions. My chain has been making a horrible noise lately. Checked the chain wear, and it was stretched only over the quick link! Googled it and found a few other guys with the same problem.

Now you just spoilt the mood! Its ok Johan, he just used a wrong word. We will keep this thread on topic and excuse the S word. Edited January 4, 2011 by The_Break
ridr Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Oops, it's late, sorry about the S word! Do we have to get overly technical?
ridr Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) The sexy DA cranks are definitely on topic Do I need to edit my post? Or does your edited post resolve the off-topic issue? Edited January 4, 2011 by ridr

How did you measure a change in length in the order of a fraction of a percent?
Minion Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 yes - it is sram... is there a 10spd "chain link" that you use repeatedly to "unclip" your chain...I used to use the ones on my 9spd rather easily, hence the frustration at present http://www.planet-x-bikes.co.za/pYABAN%20Y39-QR10%20QUICK%20LINK/Yaban-Y39-QR10-Quick-Link.aspx
AndreZA Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 http://www.planet-x-bikes.co.za/pYABAN%20Y39-QR10%20QUICK%20LINK/Yaban-Y39-QR10-Quick-Link.aspx I use the YBN ones on my Ultegra chain. It does feel as if it is a little wider then the other links but it still works 100%.
ridr Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Hmmmmm. Too late. How did you measure a change in length in the order of a fraction of a percent? Using a chain-check tool. But you can explain the finer details to me when I come visit in about 2 weeks time with my new mtb frame to build up and my road bike for a service. I'll leave the Shimano 10-speed quick link on for you to see.

There was a roguemechanic youtube clip showing the quicklink riding high between sprocket teeth.
