Hard to rate pins - they either work or they don't. What I didn't expect is that they were chain specific according to the package I received: CN-7801/CN-6600. I have an Ultegra 6701 chain - hoping these pins will work with that. They are spares that I'm throwing into my seat bag for touring rides. They look like they'll fit but now sure. Wish Amazon would do a better job on identifying what exactly you're getting in the package.

I spent a lot of time researching if these were compatible with the 10 speed ultegra 6600 and 6700 chains, as it doesn't explicitly say. The identifying grooves didn't seem to match up with either of the images on the Shimano site. I couldn't find a definitive answer, but since I had extra pins both versions of the chain, I just tested it myself. Pin seems to fit flush in both chains, and work fine on the bike, so from what I can tell these are Shimano 10 speed chain pins that fit any of their 10 speed models.

I've never had a Shimano replacement pin fail. Easy to use, strong, and won't bind up your links. If you're not going to use a quick-link than the OEM replacement pins are the way to go.
