Sorry if this has been discussed previously.
I am a big fan of using the cheapest chain/sprocket combo that gives good
results. I am getting ready to replace the drivetrain on my Campy Chorus 10
setup. I see that Colorado Cyclist is selling the Ultegra 6600 10-Speed
Chain for $27.99. Also the web site is claiming that you need to install
with a Shimano Chain tool though I would like to use the Wipperman link to
hold it together.
Will this setup work well? I have heard that Shimano10 speed chains work
well with Campy 10 drive trains (cassette will be Veloce 10)

I would stay with the Campy chain since a Veloce chain is only $32.50
online - delivered. Also, I have found that the Campy chains last longer
than the Shimano chains.

It will and use the 6.05 wipperman link, that'll be fine as well. ALL
10s chains are now 5.9mm, all inter-work with each other, shimano,
Sram, Campagnolo, Wipperman, KMC, etc.

I'm using a Wipperman chain with my 10sp Chorus rig now and have an IRD
in waiting. I'm not a big Shimano chain fan. Either way what ever you
use I agree with the other reply, use the Wipperman link.

Campy has changed their 10-speed chain width spec to roughly that of
Shimano. Feel free to mix and match. Make sure you're using the
Shimano-spaced Wipperman link, although some have reported using the
6.2mm Campy-spaced link and surviving.
