Description
Chain Quick Link Is A Simple Way To Create An Easy Connection
Making upgrades to your chain is always a pain, especially when trying to add lubrication. Make the most of your maintenance with the Shimano XTR Quick Link, which fits in perfectly with your 12 speed systems. Unlike joining a chain with a chain pin and chain breaker, this master link offers a solution that's more resistant to human error.
The Shimano XTR works by replacing one "outer" chain link with a pair of slotted interlocking outer plates that feature permanently set pins. The force applied to the Shimano Chain pulls these two opposing links into a closed position. By squeezing the links together with enough force, you will see the link come undone — which is why it's also commonly called a quick release chain link.
The Shimano XTR Quick Link opens up the possibilities for cleaning the chain off the bike, whereas breaking a chain by driving out a pin creates a weak spot. Chains installed with a pin are best left on until worn or, alternatively, until you install a master link.

For use with Shimano XTR CN-M9100 12-speed chains

Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
Shimano Dura-Ace, directional chain, I keep a spare used one taped to the seat rails, always put on a new one when changing waxed chains, no pushing pins out to change chains.

Needed for unsupported rides
I've had chain breaks in the past that left me stranded. Never again. These are pricey though.

Great for chain waxers
These are essential if you're a chain waxer. Also, these are listed as 12 speed XTR links, but they can be used on 12 speed Ultegra/Dura Ace. Keep a set in your saddle bag. Shouldn't cost this much.

Works as designed
I'd prefer to buy single links instead of 2 packs, but this product does the job.

A must have
I usually ride solo miles away from anything. I learned a long time ago to always have a chain break and a quick link. These are perfect.
