{"product_id":"shimano-10-speed-chain-pins","title":"Shimano 10-Speed Chain Pins","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eShimano 10-Speed Chain Pins\u003c\/strong\u003e are the OEM connecting pins for joining or repairing Shimano 10-speed chains. Unlike quick links, Shimano's traditional press-in pin system requires a chain tool to drive the pin through the outer plates — the pin is inserted from the outside, driven until the guide tip breaks off flush, and locked permanently in place. When done correctly, a properly installed chain pin creates a joint as strong and smooth-shifting as any other link in the chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese pins are compatible with all Shimano 10-speed chains with the exception of the original first-generation Dura-Ace CN-7800. Each pin features a distinctive two-line marking on the narrow guide end for easy identification and correct orientation during installation. Sold as a pack of three, they're worth keeping in your kit bag for roadside repairs and in the workshop for chain builds. One important installation note: never reuse a link where a pin has already been driven out — always work with fresh outer plates when reinstalling a pin to ensure a secure joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecs at a Glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"specs_at_a_glance\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e Y08X98031\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpeed:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10-speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePack quantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 pins\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible chains:\u003c\/strong\u003e All Shimano 10-speed chains (except CN-7800 first generation)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Requires a chain tool; guide tip breaks off after driving\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e Do not reuse a link where a pin has previously been driven out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Shimano","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43704929321004,"sku":"Y08X98031","price":3.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/ricycles.com\/products\/shimano-10-speed-chain-pins","provider":"RA Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
