These shimano 10-speed chains still come with the snap off connector pin as opposed to a master link. I prefer the connector pin. I think it’s a more secure way of joining a chain together. Instead of carrying master links with me, I carry a small chain tool and extra snap off connector pins. This is also a great chain at a descent price. If you run a 10-speed drivetrain you won’t be disappointed with this chain. And you can toss the snap off connector pin and use a KMC Master Link with it if you want too.
