As Campagnolo 11 speed chains need a special chain tool to join together, what do people do if the chain breaks when they are out riding? I always carry a small chain tool but for more regular chains, but am thinking of going for a Canyon with a chorus groupset. The Campag branded tool is crazy money - I know park make a tool that finishes the rivet, but it seems like you need this and a normal chain too. Or am I mis-understanding?

Thanks.

You don't need to worry about a special tool, just buy some KMC missing links. http://www.ebay.ie/itm/KMC-11-SPEED-CHAIN-Missing-Link-11-Campagnolo-2set-Gold-/140629343914?pt=Cycling_Parts_Accessories&hash=item20be297eaa

And once your 11-speed Chorus chain has worn out, you can replace it with a KMC 11-speed chain altogether.
