While it may seem apparent to most, for those using quick link pliers for the first time, it may be useful to demonstrate the correct way to use them. When breaking the chain you squeeze the pliers. When joining a chain, you ideally want to use both hands to push the plier arms away from each other. For both breaking and joining, the jaws of the pliers should attach to each side of the quick link.

while threading the chain around the jockey Wheels, you failed to mention to watch out for making sure the chain is on the correct side of the metal bracket that's between them. I can see that you're physically doing it, but only because I know it's there, there's no close-up of that in the video sequence and it's not verbally mentioned. I've made this mistake this myself multiple times, even having made the mistake in the past and even after noting that it's there as I'm taking the chain off. You should also make a note at the end of the video to check that it's on the correct side of that bracket if it sounds like the chain is making a lot of excess noise. other than choosing the wrong type of chain, this is really the only part of changing a chain that you can screw up and probably the most common mistake, and you didn't even mention it.

It's probably a thing that everybody knows but I just figured out that the "useless" hooks on the other side of the chain checker are intended to hold the chain together when you're installing a link or a pin. Just mentioning because some videos show the "traditional" piece-of-wire trick - while you have probably measured your chain with one of these tools before replacing, anyway. Might not be the ultra-hack with pins and most newer quick-links which hook up the chain anyway but I found it very useful on my commuters 7-speed Shimano chain which comes with these unbearable QL that require the chain to be bent - and that's a lot easier if it's not under tension or risk of the chain snapping apart.

Best not to push out the joining pin, especially if you’re going to be putting the chain back on. The joining pin is designed to fit a hole that’s been loosened by having the old pin pushed out. Choose a pin on a different link, and push that put instead. If you’re re-connecting it with a new connecting pin, it’ll be weaker if it’s already had the extra tight joining pin pushed out.

I’ve been having the hardest time replacing my chain. Got the right speed, though the bike store sold me a SRAM for my Shimano. Super stiff..some links barely move. It wouldn’t go around the derailleur. I tried removing that link and replacing it (which was really hard) and it’s still stiff. I’m so stuck for something that should be simple. And I kept reading that it’s good to remove the wax/ that comes on the chain, so I did that too, thinking it would make the stiff link work, it didn’t. Plus, the quick link was hard to link on…I’m so irritated
@picapica8209

You can swap Shimano and sram. Sometimes the new chain has protective tough factory grease on it. Just lube it with a thin oil and go riding. When there is a specific stiff link, just wiggle it from left to right to create some space in the link. Hope that will do the trick.

@better.better
@better.better Жыл бұрын
that's what the chain gauge is for. when the chain gauge shows out of tolerance that's when you change the chain. as you say how soon depends on the conditions youre riding in, the amount you ride and how clean and lubricated you keep the drivetrain. if you ride a lot I would at least check it once a week after the first couple of months. like a lot of PreFlight practices though, it's probably a good idea to develop a habit of checking it... the problem is it can be a long time between chain changes, so if you're not in the habit of checking it can be easy to forget to check at all, and as usually happens to me by the time you realize your sprockets are too messed up to put a new chain onto, my commute is about 20 mi/32 km a day and I go through about 2 to 3 chains a year, but I also go through chainrings and cassettes that could be avoided if I remembered to check the chain more often. (thinking about it though, my yearly bicycle costs: the cost of replacing the drivetrain three times a year as well as any other maintenance, is STILL less than a year of insurance for a car, nevermind other automobile related expenses.)

When it comes to replacing link to a permanent pin... you need make sure the holes of the inner joints are slightly wider than the outer joint's hole. Because if it is not.... the pin will hold the inner joint holes, same as the outer cahin joint.. in that engineering. Pins are only good if it is stiffly connected to outer than inner like a hinges.. so not tightly connecting the pin.. so the sway will go smooth.. .

@@PrzemyslawSliwinski None that I've noticed. Quick links are good for people who like to clean and wax/lube their chains off the bike. A regular quick link should be okay for a handful of remove/installs before it becomes too loose for safety. I have a Connex quick link on my chains; the kind that do not need a quick link tool to remove or install and last for much longer. No problems.

@@fredsirvalo1904 ThnX! That's my observations too. I've been using the KMC chains and their quick links (three at once - in a tandem) for almost two years now. And yes, there is no excuse for having dirt chains.

The best way to measure is count the links on the chain you are replacing since a heavily worn chain can “stretch” and you’ll be putting a longer chain on by as much as a couple links.

Not all old chains are sized correctly. As a shop mechanic, I've seen a handful of incorrectly sized chains before I size and install new ones, usually a pair of links or two too long. One common mistake is not ensuring the B-tension gap is correct.

No chain has ever stretched as much as one link, let alone a couple...

Well…..a worn chain of 118 links and a 1% stretch is longer than a 119 links new chain. I know. It was on my bike. I had to change the casette and chain wheel any way. So I kept riding with the worn parts. I’ve never seen a chain with 2% strech. Making it longer as long a new 120 links chain.

Alex... why have you shown us how to manuver chain tool behind the rear wheel when you have just spin the chain a little bit so that the joining link would be closer to crankset with clear access from both sides?
