Keychain woes?
dude...:
is it possible to add more links to the keychain with a chaintool or only using the special allen key links? this is my only real issue with the chain, although ive not broken it yet so its not been an issue

That's how I got it to work again after I lost the first screw when i broke off 2 weeks ago. I had an extra pin and just linked it that way so I only has to use two of those. But I was lucky and happened to have that extra pin. I don't have anymore keychain parts so I have to buy a new link that has the replacement screws.

How much longer does it need to be?
1 tooth = ~1/8"
1 half link = 2t = ~1/4"
1 full link = 4t = ~1/2"
If you are switching from 28t to 30t then all you need is a half link.
25 to 28, 2 half links (or one full link), but the wheel will move back in the dropouts by ~1/8"
25 to 30, one full link and one half link (or 3 half links lol), and wheel will move back by ~1/8"
Alternatively if you are going to a longer frame, adding a half link would move the wheel back ~1/4", a full link ~1/2"
dude...:
ah no i was just meaning if i do snap it being all street and grinds

You will need the keychain pins. Nothing else will work. I'm keeping mine because I am a slave to the slam. I'm not sure if any other full link chain has the same length links as the keychain. Its why I'm not running the shitty chain I was using prior to getting the keychain.
