Do I need special tool to shorten Campy Record 10sp chain? Or can I use any chain tool?
Any advice appreciated thx!

Any 3/32 chain tool will take it apart.
How are you putting it back together?
KMC link or pin?

Any tool will do.

Use a quick link to put it back together :beer:

Yes will use a quicklink - Can I use KMC link on Campy chain? New to this just moving on from on Campy 8 and 9 speed...to 10 Record and Chorus 11speed...this is a big move for me!

You can use a KMC link on a Campy 10 chain. I have lost links before though, twice in fact -- cross chaining and quick links are :no:

And let me be the first to congratulate you on joining the 21st century :beer:

Yup, do not push pin out then new pin back into that 'non virgin' plate. Almost Guarantee break there.

KMC missing link works well. Been using them since 2011 or so, Campy 10s. Used them on Campy, Shimano, and KMC chains, across two bikes.

The KMC quick link for 10's campy is different from KMC for Shimano. Believe it a 10 CR.

Something's missing.....KMC Missing Link. Still ~$5.00.
