I just installed a Connex link to join a KMC X9 chain and I’m noticing that whenever the link goes through the derailleur hanger, it causes it to move a bit, which causes rhythmic noise. Anyone using Connex noticing this? Is it normal?

You have a waxed chain, right? Me, too, maybe it’s another factor causing the sticking between the surfaces (I replied to the top level post already). My YBN chain is black coated and thought that maybe the thickness is that much higher than a Shimano chain, that the plates press on the inner joint too much. But I see your KMC chain with a different coating. Interesting indeed.
Yup, waxed. I think it’s just wax collection in that particular joint. I’ll loosen it up and report.
