Title: CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE.........
Post by: mclarenj on December 11, 2006, 09:55 PM

give me some tips/advise on how to fit a new chain ? What tools do I need ? And how do I connect the chain together ? I am new to all of this restore business and want to work out how to do it myself as opposed to taking it to my local bicycle shop...

thanks in advance for any help/tips.

Jon

PS-I am fitting it to an 84 Looptail PK Ripper.

is it a split link chain?  Chain link extractor is always handy for getting length right ;)
