Mounting a 8S HG90 Chain

[Derk]

Hi,

I use my old 8S bike again and have forgotten about mounting the 8S chain:
the chain comes with one chainbolt sticking out of the chain on one side
and without a chainbolt on the other end. First I shorten the chain on the
end where no bolt is sticking out. Do I now need to use a 8S chain
connecting pin to join the two ends? IOW: do I need to push the chain bolt
that is visible out with a new connecting pin in order to join the two
ends?

TIA, Derk

You can use the existing chain pin. It is designed for joining one
time. No need to push it out with a replacement pin.

find a HG 8s replacement pin, use that...the special 8s chain pin...or use a
Sram 8s snap link.
