I got a new bike kit, mounted everything and took it on its maiden voyage about 50 feet, I noticed the chain alignment was off due to the tensioner. I readjusted the tensioner.
Everything looked ok.
2nd try: I decided to go a little further. And the chain snapped at what looks like the master link. I'm not sure if it was just the master link or that and another link, hard to say.
I'm not sure which way the open or closed end of the master link should go.
Could this have caused the chain to break like it did?
I do have a brand new chain though.
But after looking at YouTube videos I can't really see which way they installed it. Should the closed end point towards the rear wheel or should it point towards the front wheel?
Also is there a place i could get more master links like tractor supply or similar?
I have been searching for hours to figure out what kind of chain it is. I know it's a 415 but I've seen mentions of 415 and 415H. I'm not sure what the difference is
Thanks
