Hi All,

Not sure if anyone else has run into this issue but the KMC 11 speed non-reusable missing links are too big to fit through the whole on the 11 speed chain, anyone else run into this issue?
It seems the diameter of the barrel it too large

I've been using the KMC 11s link on Ultegra level Shimano chains for a couple years, no issues.

Been using KMC missing link on both Dura-Ace and Campy Record chains for over 10 years. Never a problem.

Same here. I've been using KMC and Wipperman links with Shimano chains for years, including the current 11-speed offerings.

Been using KMC quick links for years. 10-speed, now 11. Maybe you got a counterfeit pair or something, I dunno, but they should fit. I even use the non-reusable, but use them again and again w/o issues.
