A rider or workshop with an 11-speed chain who wants a link that can be opened again for cleaning and waxing.
This YBN QRS 11 is a reusable missing link for 11-speed chains. It joins the two ends of a chain and can be opened again later, which suits riders who take the chain off to clean or wax it. YBN says it can be refitted up to five times.
The link is sized for 5.6 mm 11-speed chains and suits Shimano, SRAM, Campagnolo and YBN chains. It has four safety sections to help stop it releasing by accident, and the maker notes that tools are needed to fit and release it. Always use a new connecting link when you renew the chain.
Reusable

For 11-speed chains

Great for
Maybe not for
One size, made for 11-speed chains (5.6 mm). It is not interchangeable with links for 10 or 12-speed chains, so check your chain's speed first.
Match the link to the chain
Each speed has its own link, and this one is made for 5.6 mm 11-speed chains, so do not use it on a 10-speed or 12-speed chain. YBN says to replace it after five uses, or when you replace the chain, whichever comes first.
