My friggin chain is 1 link too big (FML).

You need to remove 1 full link. make sure that the small (inside plate) is left open on the end, so the master will connect.

Why order a new chain? Put another rivet link in.

if you lay them side by side you can see if they are the same length before cutting any off.

i replaced my chain today and what an adventure, I broke the damn pin to remove the rivet (second time I have done that) and now am missing apiece that crimps the rivet down on the plate.
I was due for a day like that since my fork install went flawlessly the day before  tom |
