Professionals’ comments about Connex bicycle chains
|
Sean Walling, Owner of Soulcraft
The 2010 Soulcraft mountain bike and cross team has added a top-notch product to their top-notch bicycle frames. For this year's program, the team has selected to race with Connex by Wippermann chains on their 10- speed, 9- speed, and singlespeed bikes. "A lot of people may have not heard of Wipperman chains yet, but they will. People like myself who work in the industry have been using them for years because we know that you can not buy a better chain. My customers are always impressed with the performance of Wipperman chains. We sell what we ride." http://www.cantitoeroad.com/news/69/66/Soulcraft-Races-with-Wippermann.php Sandy Scott, Cyclist
Wippermann Chains – I love these chains! They come in different models to suit any need, they are of the highest quality, and I love their master link which can be removed and installed without use of a chain tool. My new book on cycling was published a couple of weeks ago and is selling briskly on Amazon.com. Being a rather high profile cyclist (try googling "sandy scott cyclist"), people often seek out my recommendations and often buy what I use. That is one of the reasons I have been sponsored by two different bicycle manufacturers - Guru and Teschner. The book is entitled, "From Broken Neck to Broken Records, a Masters Cyclist's Guide to Winning." In one of the chapters, I list and speak about my favorite cycling products. In that Wippermann makes my favorite chains. www.brokennecktobrokenrecords.com KED-Bianchi Germany Dieter Stein, Team Manager
Dieter Stein is eight times East German Champion, Sports Director of the young KED Bianchi Teams in Berlin and Sports Head of the Berlin Six Days Event. Together with the successful coach Uwe Frese, Dieter Stein runs a cycling school in Berlin where they both trained such prominent riders as Erik Zabel, Jan Schaffrath, Jens Voigt, Guido Fulst (Olympic winner) Robert Bartko (twice Olympic winner), Andreas Klöden and Thorsten Hiekmann. During the 2008 season the KED Bianchi Team raced with our 10-speed Connex Chain 10s8. Dieter Stein’s experience: “Connex chains suffer very little wear and they have a longer service life than Shimano and Campagnolo chains. This preserves the expensive pinions and thereby saves money.” Diana Sportreisen Eberhard Messling, Owner
BDR Damen Jochen Dornbusch, National Coach
“We also race with Wippermann chains on the track. These chains have a long life, are very robust and function exceptionally smoothly.“
Andrea Wolfer, CH Worldchampion Track 2005
“My sincere thanks to Wippermann for their sponsorship. My success belongs to Wippermann chains.“

“Be it the Trans-Alp-, Trans-Germany- or 24-h races – we have always been able to depend on these chains. The gear-changing characteristics of the MTB chains of our Team (911 lightweight) are outstanding. The chain functions with the utmost precision in instantly finding its position without any problems. Moreover, the superior wear properties and the tool-free connector make it an absolutely top-class chain - not only for professionals but also for the everyday cyclists. Our team insists on these chains.” |

“For years the German Women’s Team has been riding with Wippermann chains and we are very satisfied with them. We have never encountered any problems.”

“This year we once again had a very successful season with Connex chains. We - the athletes, coaches and the Management - thank you most sincerely!“ 
“Ever since the year 2000 the bicycles of the Haibike Team have been fitted with Wipperman chains.”
