You need to loosen the link if the link you joined is stiff. (and will most likely be) To do so, you put the chain on the first row of prongs. (the prongs you used rests the chain against the anvil to push the pin in and out but the link will be stiff because you push the plates together the outer ones tight against the inner ones and the pin driving them trough friction in the outer plates) The first row of prongs support the chain from the inside and does not rest on the anvil, and in this configuration you can push the pin a tad bit only in one outer plate, that ensures the correct spacing between outer plates and effectively loosens the link if it's stiff (and i bet it is)
this is exactly what i need my bike chain has been of for like 3 months i put it on literally before i watched this and ordered the tool you are using but i didnt know the name of it so thanks man :D
Thank you, sir. I pushed a pin all the way out. Tried to get it back in, but I guess you can't with the tool only. My chain is a little shorter than I would like, but that's ok.
You should've specified that if you go this route, then that particular pin will be weakened and will break after a while. Bike chains are, mostly, sold with single use pins so this particular modification/adjustment can wear the pin out.
Great video. Thank you. Where do I get that tool and what is it's name? How many links do you suggest removing? Should I start with 1 and adjust from there? Thanks again.
Bicycle stores, chain breaker Length of chain is custom cut to fit a given bike frame size with a given drive train, no fixed or pre-determined length. Check out a shimano dealers manual on a 105 or higher specs derailleur, pictures show you exactly how.
I appreciate the video but I don’t think you should reuse the pin. I saw something in another video called a master link... be careful riding, you and anyone else following this video.
Lube it. Also, the type of chain may be totally different. May need to grind the pin`s head off. Manufacturers recently come up with chains that can not be shortened, only connected. These chains are sold to fit 6-speed bikes, 8-speed bikes, 10, 12, 1 speed no derailleur, etc.
Bro help me, i tried to do this in my chain and i fcked up i bent the outside part, the thing that looks like a "8" i bent the other side part of it but the other one still connects but im concerned that it might snap, do you know any solutions???
So did i miss it? What about the purpose made removable link on chain my chain came off and that link that does come apart to a point, had fell apart. Dont i remove a link to shorten chain, but make sure i use the purpose made removable side, and connect it to the new link i prepare.?
Thanks man exactly what I was looking for all them other videos pretty much said pull back your back wheel to tighten your chain but those videos were not helpfull
This is what I’ve been looking for thanks man appreciate it no one else is clear like this
Thanks for commenting.
Same here awesome video man
Thanks mate, i had the tool but they don't give instructions with it so you helped me tie up loose ends like putting the pin back in..😊😊😊😊

AsiAzzy That`s right, thanks for sharing!

Couldn't have been more clear, I just finished taking a link off my chain for the first time! Thanks!
this is exactly what i need my bike chain has been of for like 3 months i put it on literally before i watched this and ordered the tool you are using but i didnt know the name of it so thanks man :D
Brilliant, thank you, a huge help, nice & straight forward.
Thank you, sir.

Shut up
thanks, now I know how to use the tool, and to adjust a chain without a master link
Two things I've learned in this video: how to use that particular tool and that by bike chain is overgreased.
very helpful, thank you!
Much appreciated, may we be guided to the path to paradise
Thanks, definitely need that
useful video, did it.today to shorten my bent
thank you, this was very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Hi I just want to ask. What happens if I pushed the pin all the way? Can I still put it in the chain using the tool?
Pin falls out, difficult to line it up properly to snap back into place.
Great video. Thank you. Where do I get that tool and what is it's name? How many links do you suggest removing? Should I start with 1 and adjust from there? Thanks again.

Great video. Exactly what I needed!
...that's usually a misery. Lol
Thanks mate exactly what I was looking for
Thank you very much! Great tutorial.
Excellent - thanks for this.
My pleasure!
Thanks!

Master links are weaker than rivets, exactly as stated by manufacturers. Go advise them.
What if it is very difficult to get the pin out ? Plz help
Lube it.

There’s one angry the background
Is this method works for all kind of bike chain? Is there a length limit where you can't cut/shorten the chain anymore?
There are only engineering limits
Also is there any way I can do it without a tool
With a nail and hammer, take your time.
Without tools, such as looking at it, wishing well - a million years +
What is the name of the tool
Chain breaker

Shorten chain by 1 link (remove damaged link)
Had the same took 15 bucks it’s ass bro we both know it the bottom always come off and shit the lil handle
So did i miss it? What about the purpose made removable link on chain my chain came off and that link that does come apart to a point, had fell apart. Dont i remove a link to shorten chain, but make sure i use the purpose made removable side, and connect it to the new link i prepare.?
Many chains don't have a quick link
@@theoverengineer Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Is it the same for half link chains?
Any chain with pins, rollers and plates will work like this
Best video on topic, thanks!
thanks for the tips
whats the effect if we use too long chain for daily use?
It will come off the bike.
Thank you
Good job thank you
Thanks! Great job
