Review on KMCA0 MISSINGLINK 10R KMC MISSINGLINK 10R by Christopher Kanter

Genuine KMC Perfect for Shimano XT CN-HG95 10 speed chain Super Easy Install

I am converting my bike to 10 speed and KMC Quick Link makes chain installation very easy. The Shimano chain comes with a pin that needs to be driven in with a chain tool, it's not that heavy but the quick link is definitely a lot easier and this particular quick link can be reused. The quick connect also makes it easy to remove the chain if needed. If you want to loosen the quick release, you can easily do that with the Park Tool MLP 1.2 Master Link Pliers, and this tool can be used to open and close the quick release. My quick link closed easily when the chain was pulled taut. If it doesn't, place a quick coupler between the top of the cassette and the top of the crank, hold the rear brake lever and depress the pedal. You will hear a click and the link will close. These sitelinks were submitted as three separate cards with two sitelinks per card. These are genuine KMC branded links. (See photo)
