(1/2) > >>

woodz77:
as title really . want a new clean chain but dont know if theres different lengths etc ????

jackel:
no just cut your new chain down to size there all a bit to big when new :)

woodz77:
how do i cut it down ? just knock the pin out of the link and then rejoin it ?? just want to check before i fook it up :2funny:

priv:
use a chain tool to prise the pin out,not all the way out,and then do the opposite way round to get it back in.


a nice tip use a piece of wire coat hanger between the links outside the links your removing to keep the chain together.

yes.
put both chains side-by-side and compare to make sure the chains are the same pitch/gauge,
count the links on your old chain,
