Hence the £15 then. No 11 speed for that!
Yer sorry missed that bit...and will stay 10spd for the foreseeable future at those prices.

The older I get, the faster I used to be ...
Even the 11 speed qiucklinks are around £5 each.

Why is the quick link better than the Shimano pin?
Ive fitted a couple of chains with the provided shimano pin & they seem ok?

There's nothing with with the pin, but come the day you need to remove the chain you'll spend ages looking for the one that's a 'wee bit different', whereas the quick link is much easier to find - I use a contrasting colour link so it's even easier. Added to that you can reuse the quicklink (even 10 and 11sp to some extent) whereas you'll need a new Shimano pin every time.
Who orders that on its own though!?!
This thread is about the chsin remember, so the delivery is FREE with both items...and just found the chain is £2 cheaper again with Ribble!
Which makes the 10 speed version actually 42% cheaper than the 11 speed. Percentages only really make sense when the values are higher though. £2.30 is less than a coffee at the end of the day, and can live with that for the superior shifting abilities!

'If you look after the pennies the pounds look after themselves'
I have ordered just quicklinks by themselves - after all my bike came complete with chain, I then bought the links separately - I often buy low cost items alone, as needed, so delivery charges are important to me.
