The price of a chain depends on where you are when you break one....I always put my chains on unbroken with no connecting link. Doesn't take too long to take out the swing arm and something to do on a wet weekend.

I will never buy one of those chains again.
It has that stupid connecting link circlip thingo that is prone to flying off.
Just my opinion.
Yeah DW, those links are dangerous!! Just as bad as a flux capacitor in my opinion! :wink:

A standard rattle gun does not always work, next try a truck sized rattle gun.

You did flatten out the washer behind it didnt you?

Not to piss you off but using a grinder is just plain stupid.

you do not understand the trouble we went to, before buying a new nut and cutting the old one off.

I know it can be a pain, when i first did my race bike we thought a 1/2 inch rattle gun would be enough but ended up having to go to a 4wd place and borrowing there larger unit. Cant remember if it was a 3/4 or 1 inch rattle gun but with that it just spun off like nothing.
