the less materail the greater the failure rate?
in this case?
i once received special pins with the MO chains. no more.
but i order replaceable links so i guess the elves sneak in at coffe
break and steal the spec pins?
the spec pins are ok but once per link only.
what the wrecnh is doing using standard pins two sides? he has extra
standard end pins.
is normal. i save the extra end links from new chains at 116 to 112 and
keep a bag of spec pins on the shelf. sometimes a good chain will chew
up three-four links in the middle-usually from cross chaining on a
grimme chain while homeward bound grooving on the sunset
so you get to splice new links in and save the chain and the cluster
and your general good mood over the next 1500 miles
