Connex shows a 12 speed chain and connex link on their website, but I haven't seen anyone selling it yet. How well it will fit a Campy chain is not known.

The only reason to take a chain off a bike is to throw it away. You can't do anything meaningful off the bike that I can't do on the bike. |

Maybe those of you who have never heard of cleaning a chain have also never heard of hot wax dipping a chain for lubrication. Molten Speed Wax is a big deal to some folks, but the chain has to be removed fairly frequently to replenish the wax.
https://moltenspeedwax.com/ Some also hot wax dip with with plain paraffin. That idea has been around forever. Some don't bother to clean the chain before rewaxing, but they end up with dirt in their wax. I prefer my own liquid wax-based lube that's just as clean, contains oil with extreme pressure additives and only cost pennies per ounce. No hot dipping required. My drivetrain remains extremely clean, with no dirt attracted by this lube. No black oily chain for me. |

I was waiting for the “Campy Rant Part II” complaining that someone had to pay $100 for a second charger setup...

Yes, and 500 miles is under ideal, totally dry conditions.

Would be funny if Campy keyed/coded their chargers to only work with one serial # interface. I'm sure it could be done if they wanted.

After further thought, I am going to forgo the campy chain tool and try the SRAM link.

There are less expensive alternatives to the Campy chain tool, e.g. Park Tool.

Overall worldwide, it would take as many as 14 different plugs. The charger can take voltage from 110 to 240 volts.

I wouldn't expect any less. NBA players usually go through a couple pairs of sneakers a game after all.

Funny, I just dropped off a Park Tool CT-4.3 at the post office after selling it on eBay. I broke several of the tool pins attempting to install a Campy pin and gave up on the tool. That certainly could be pilot error as many have good things to say about the Park, but I wish I'd spent the money for the Campy tool (or maybe the Abbey).
