    Picked up a few Hen's teeth the other day as my search for the above 9 speed QL's has hit a brick wall........suppose like a lot of parts these days.

    Had one snap and chain fly off last week. Had a spare now trying to replace the spare etc etc.

    Tried my usual Bike24 and CR to no avail. Ideas?

    Actually, might revert to a solid chain. Anyone do this? I think quick links are a scam especially when you (don’t) have to buy an extra tool to get the chain off ( a lot of times). Used to remove chain from bike to soak but not anymore. As easy to split it when doing this anyway.

    Just bought 2 off, of all places, Amazon UK. Wipperman though and they seem to be compatible.

    Used to use Wipperman Chains and will go back to them. Their QL’s are a breeze.


    Thanks Weepsie.

    Snap! I was going to suggest Decathlon as I remember having seen them there last time I got a 11-speed link.
