SRAM power link

[laura*]

really? SRAM powerlinks aren't reusable? I have that style link on my mountain bike..and have re-linked it and haven't had a problem.

SRAM 8 and 9 speed Powerlinks are reusable. SRAM 10 speed Powerlocks are not.

This is what my LBS has told me, they are avid mountain bikers and from what they've told me, they have all reused them. I was mistaken that they don't sell SRAM powerlinks, of course they do. They DID tell me it was better to use the tool rather than fingers to release the powerlink - though I don't have a chance of getting it off without the tool.

Thank you! OK...but... *sheepish*....how do I tell which I have?

I have absolutely nothing meaningful to add to this conversation. I do want to say YOU ROCK! You did something new, used new tools, and learned a bunch to boot. How can you beat that?!

The chain width has to match the spacing between the cogs. So it's whatever your cassette is.
