    Lennard Zinn says that when attaching 10 speed chains you should use the brand-specific 10 speed chain tool. I just tried attaching my first 10 speed chain using the standard BBB chain tool and it's after falling apart. Is it advisable to do what Zinn says?

    Also,anyone know where I can get rivets for a Shimano 10 speed chain? :D

    It's possible to buy a pack of rivets. They're usually sold in fives and a lot of online bike stores would have them.

    I think Zinn might be going a bit far. I know I've had no problem with my Tacx on several brands of 10 speed chains. I will say though that getting big one is definitely worth it. First chain tool I had only lasted for one job.

    Not sure what happened with your job. Did the tool or the chain fall apart?
