Default Speaking of Shimano chains amd pins...

I bought an HG-73 9-speed chain from Nashbar. It came with a regular pin
installed on one side of the last link (not a special pin with the guide).
Are you supposed to use this pin after shortening the chain to the correct
size?


Yes. You shorten the chain on the other side. The reason why you should
not reuse a pushed out pin is because the hole in the outer sideplate of
the link became too large for that pin. If you started with a 'fresh'
hole in the outer sideplate this is not the case and so it will be OK to
use the regular pin.
