Never counted links but as a rule chains are always long enough to fit a triple which would also use a longer cage, so with a compact you'd be laughing.

Any one know if these chains come with a quick link attachment or do you need a 10speed riveter?

any chain can take a quick link - just pop out the extra rivet. My 30 yr old chain tool does 10 speed chains fine so you won't need a special one.

Think the question was whether the quick link was included or not ... KMC charge something silly like £6 or £7 just for the spare link ...
