1501-0800-1220 Connex 8 Speed Chain Link, Silver, One Size

It performs very well. Effortlessly allows to service a chain.

Sweet! Bought a new chain for the 8 speed cassette on my hybrid. And tho I had a couple quick connect links on hand, didn't want to use them since I didn't have the tool to remove them if I needed to. Plus, I only bought those as backup if I needed to use one when I'm out riding and my chain breaks for some unimaginable reason. Anyhow, this totally fit the bill for what I needed: A quick, simple, and easy way to remove my chain for deep cleaning without the need for a tool. I only wish the 11 speed link was just as low priced as this one (it's 3 times the price). But all in all, this one was totally worth 3 times what I paid for it. Will definitely buy again.

I'm running Wippermann stainless chains on four bikes 7- to 9-speed. They have the absolute best quick-link of any chain, though I did break one long-use quick-link and had a spare with me. The chains live a long time with people reporting over 15,000 mi. They have the great advantage in wet and weather of never flash rusting, and they work incredibly clean with wax lubes. I use Molten Speed Wax about every 800 mi, and can hose the bikes down when they're muddy. When I ultrasonic my chain in prep for a new wax,, barely get any noticeable grit in the bottom of the beaker. When I cleaned a wet-lube chain once, there was a teaspoon of sand and metal fragments in the bottom of the beaker.

I use these on all my bikes. Ability to remove chain without tools saved me from a rescue ride on a few occasions.

I'm a believer in tool-less chain connectors ever since I got stuck in the woods on my mountain bike with a brutal chain-suck behind the cassette. I use SRAM PowerLinks for all my newer bikes, but these Wippermann Connex links are great for older 6-seed and 7-speed bikes with 3/32-inch chains. Install in seconds, easy to open and close, and they seem to be lasting well.

I bought to try out for rando. I wax ( vs oil ) my bike chains so remove them every 500-600 miles. I've had chains fall off when I reuse sram 8 spd links so though I'd try these. No tool to put on or off, can reuse many times. I've got maybe 100 miles on it so far. So far so good. I haven't removed the ling then reinstalled yet.

Cleaned and waxed my chain on my old 1994 Bianchi Europa, was able to add this link very easily. Haven't taken it apart, hoping it is as easy as it was to put on. Went for a 15 mile ride after installation, no problems what so ever.

What a brilliant design! Even snap links require a tool or several steps and some force to install. This link requires no force, just position the halves correctly and they slide into place! Manufacturing tolerances must be microscopic for this to work, therefore high quality is a given. Yet it is no more expensive than other links. Amazing!
