Cutting chain with no tool?

[Hello Moto!]

They are decent but not the best. Some of those type of breakers come with a pin that won't push the roller pin in the chain all the way out. I know because I have one. The pin on the tool is angled not long and cylindrical and only pushes the pin on the chain out a little bit. Kinda useless.

Yeah, that is true but then you just move the plate out of the way with pliers after the chain pin has cleared it and you are fine.

Heres a couple pics to show the different pin. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Motorcycle-...ash=item417de53776:g:leoAAOxyj4hTIYKQ&vxp=mtr

True but for a little more you can just get one that works better. I actually have the first one pictured and I wish I would of bought the other one.

I suppose if we can cut down the chain break time from 1 minute to 40 seconds we have improvement haha. Yeah it seems as if it would definitely be better.

I mainly posted the amazon one due to extremely quick shipping, if anyone was in a pinch to get one. If someones always working on chains and what not, that is a better suggestion.

It'd be nice if they made one for a 415 chain like the one I have for my pedal chain. It's a park mini brute and works just as good putting a pin back in as it does pushing one out. If your just worried about removing a pin, a hammer and punch worked fine for me lol.

Make sure that the chain is not too tight to avoid discomfort while riding,

This must be the guy that writes the (lame) installation manuals ;-)

I've finally after a week built my bike and the only problem is that the chain is too long. I went out to buy a removal tool and couldn't find anything. I tried to grind it and hit it with a nail any other ideas? I don't want to wait for the tool

Just cut one an up beef 420 chain the pins are cobalt alloy to tuff for my expensive many files and a Walmart chain splitter won't fit even though Walmart updated their cheap bicycle chain it will cut a 415 with ease cost about $9.00

But, that is what I had to do since Midas Muffler was closed for the weekend I generally pop in with a request if they could grind it down with an air grinder then hand the guy $5.00 bucks and say lunch is on me today.

Take a real fine hacksaw blade either Harbor Freight 3 to 10 for a couple of bucks set the chain down n a work surface making sure you mark the link running copper strand of wire thru it take blade close as you can get to the pin usually on a slant saw it off takes about 5 minutes pretty easy then take a flat screwdriver pry it under a piece of shrapnel and the chain pops in two.
