broken chain
Hi,
I broke the chain on my commuter fixie bike. I found and fixed the cause of the breakage of the chain. Now, i have a question whether i can just put in a master link and continue using the chain ? The concern i have it i will have two master links within about eight links from each other. Is it safe to have two master pins this close to each other ? The chain is a KMC Single Speed chain 1/2" X 1/8" current mileage ~2800 miles. thanks, ravi |

That's a lot of miles on a chain, especially since you're not coasting.
I'd at least measure it to see if it's worn out. KMC single speed chains are cheap, it's not worth wearing expensive rings or track cogs with an old one. Ten bucks, tops. |

KMC chains are great and cheap enough to replace three times a year and not really even notice. \\paul -- Paul M. Hobson Georgia Institute of Technology ..:change the f to ph to reply:. |
