How to fix the joining link to a new chain?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Bob_Acid:
watch out, my local Halfords has the expensive ones under your nose and the cheap ones hidden in the corner under the Barbie bells

cymruambyth:
steer clear of the Topeak Universal Chain Tool. total crap. mine broke first go! £8 too!

dordymush:
lol i use a grinder very slowly  :santa_afro:.

wirewheel:
split links break real easy. yeah get a chain breaker man. i got one i bought in 84 that still works fine. as for halfords stay well clear because they tend to put an extra ten quid on everything they sell. i needed a part for my car radio recently £4.25 at halfords, £1.50 at local place. i aint saying boycott the place or anything but  it will probably be cheaper elsewhere and a smaller local shop guy will probably show you how to use it properly.
halfords staff are usually underpaid, miserable and unhelpful at best, useless at worst. :idiot2:
god bless the small trader :angel:

AJWD:
Thanks everyone. Went to my local bike shop, and he said he could do it for £3, so I'm copping out. Probably be down there tomorrow anyway as I'm fitting a Tioga sealed bottom bracket for the first time, and have'nt got a clue how it goes! If anyone has advice, or even better pictoral advice I would be muchly grateful.

Cheers,
Adey.
