Wippermann Connex Link for Shimano 11 Speed

[Stinkydub]

That's $30 for a Whipperman 11 link!!! The 10 is $15. The KMC is $3.16 and REUSABLE. BTW, i reuse the Whipperman with no issues and like it over SRAM because it doesn't require a tool to separate.

Wipperman is raising the prices in an effort to encourage purchase of their chains. Sorry.


I've also been using a 10spd connex on the shimano 11spd chain on my wife's Tri bike. Wipperman supposedly says not to, because it will make the chain skip on the jockey wheels. This has been a non-issue for my wife. The 10-spd link works just fine and it's been through a number of events including an Ironman.

I also typically reuse the links for at least 3 chains or so. I've been doing this for years without any issue. The links don't have bushings to wear and can be reused despite what wipperman says.
