Title: Best 10 speed chains for $37 or less?
Post by: No on August 02, 2013, 04:18:26 AM

how would the Wippermann Connex 10S0 compare to a shimano HG94 chain?

Hi No!

This might help make a decision...

You're likely planning this for use with a derailleur drivetrain, but I should probably still point out there are more ideal, wider chains for use with a Rohloff hub if you're planning to mate the two.

Best,

You know, of all the chain threads I've read, none of them ever really answers the question. SRAM generally doesn't last that long, plus the quick link is one use only, so they really do suck.


Everything else is a matter of taste. And will a lack of a quick link really keep my chain from being stolen? I do wonder.
