Thanks to all who have replied. V much appreciated.
KMC do their Missing Link to fit both Shimano and Campag' chains and they work extremely well. You don't need tools to fit or remove them and they can be re-used, unlike some others. I've had some in use for several years
I carry a spare on all my bikes to save time on the road, and, don't you know it, I've never needed one. About £7 for two.
Found shimano chains good, but do wear out quickly. Really hard to beat SRAM and planet x has 1031 for £12 delivered. comes with joining pins.
Joining pins do wear out so don't be tempted to reuse them with new chain.
Any quick link in any chain.
KMC/Sram both do 10speed ones that you could chuck into your Shimano chain.
KMC make one. And no doubt Clarks do as well. But why not just use the pins to join your chain, it can be cleaned in situ.
