    1. is it ok to fit a KMC chain 11speed 5.5mm pin length to a campag chorus drive?

    2. to keep it Campag do you need the special Campag preening tool or will the Ultra-link close like a KMC quick-link ?

    I have been running KMC chains on an Chorus cassette for the last 18 months.
    Runs perfect.

    BBB split links for Campagnolo chains work fine......not easy to source, mind you.

    With Campagnolo's chains (the choice I made), you need a good chain tool to insert the rivet, plus a peening tool. But you can save yourself a few bucks, and buy this IceToolz 62U3 chain tool, costing around €20. It did the job perfectly well for me, and at around €20, is slightly cheaper than Campagnolo's own tool (€150 at the moment on CRC), or even Park Tools' one (around €60 at the moment).
