Re Stu’s broken chain, and MrPVT’s comment about not fixing them properly, what’s the score with a 10 speed chain?
Only had one chain split and that was when I fitted a triple to a bike and got the length wrong. Ended up splitting the chain 3 times before I got it right. Although I’m sure I had it together properly, with all the pins even, it pulled a rivet from a plate on the first hill.
The 10 speed chains are very narrow and the manufacturers say to use a specific tool, I’ve always treated this as just trying to con you out of some cash, and used my normal chain splitters.
What’s the score?
