Obviously, I could try doing it and see what happened, but I don't want to risk an accident if there is a danger of the link breaking for some reason.
The 8-speed chain in question is on my singlespeed bike so it has a perfect chainline at all times. There is no gear changing to consider, nor other rings and sprockets. I have started using 8-speed chains because they are cheaper and I want to keep running costs down.
I could just buy the right type of link but I have a bag of 10-speed quick links so I would rather use them if I can. IIRC, the internal dimensions of 8/9/10/11-speed chains are the same so a 10-speed link should fit. It would just be narrower than the 8-speed links making up the rest of the chain.
