Replacing chain

[ColinJ]

You need one of those Dog Fang jobbies, it'll stop that happening !

I've got one on each of my 3 bikes, but it wasn't my bike with the broken chain!

I did point out my Deda Dog Fang to the other riders and explained what it was for. I think I'd still be able to take the tension off the chain even with the Fang fitted.


(If you want to know more about the Deda Dog Fang, just Google it - my review currently is number one in the Google UK results!)

You use different Powerlinks depending on the chain. There is a Powerlink available for a 7 speed chain.

I know, I wasn't able to get a 7/8sp PowerLink to work with a Shimano 7/8sp chain. The Shimano chain was just slightly too wide (fraction of a mm) and wouldn't allow the PowerLink to close. I didn't want to force it because I doubt it could have been opened again if I did. I solved the problem by getting a SRAM chain.
