This is the most well constructed, simple, and straightforward tutorial I have ever seen. You should definitely do more tutorials with this humble style if you have the same extent of knowledge in other areas. Again really nicely demonstrated. Thank you for providing a quick solution to my chain problem.
This is the only video I came across where the chain shortening is explained from scratch. most other videos I saw started with the chain already opened using some master link. Good and useful video
Broooooooo this video is mad clutch thank you so much!!!! Took me days to find a way to fix a simple problem without having to use 30 bucks on a new chain
i could kiss u bro i was moding my bike so it could be like a bmx but then i had a long chain and i was like oh man i need to buy a new chain but this vido helped me out so much thank you very much
+one2three Should be explained here that this only works for systems up to 8-speed chains [track-chain or 3/32"-6-speed or hyperglide 8-speed)... For 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 speed systems [all different, narrower and narrower!], you really MUST use either the 'special one-use pin' or a special-link, elsewise the re-joined chain just falls apart a bit later, pin comes out!...
nice 1, this is summit i would do. Although i got pissed off, as i didnt know what to do. So i twisted chain while it was on my bike and in my hand kept twisting , until it snapped. lol Please can you advise my next move? lol
I removed links using this method but the chain is still slipping, there isn't full engagement between the drive sprocket teeth and the chain. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
This is NOT a good solution for replacing a bike chain. It worked for me, but if you test the next link or two up the chain from where it has been broken, it will not fall under the weight of gravity anymore. That is, if you hold the chain up horizontally the first link still on the chain after breaking will not fall under the weight of gravity anymore as the others do. This link will cause a little bit more friction and will cause more resistance when you ride making it a bit more difficult. If you have a bike that is not that good it should not matter too much, but if you have an ok bike and want to go quick it will slow you down just that very small amount.
For any regular average bike rider it will not matter. If you think that someone who is so into bikes and riding that this would make a difference looks for a video like this on RUclips you are wayyyy off.

Not everyone has a new chain hanging on the table, or a chain tool.
This video is oldschool and manly.
Good job

Legend. I live in the countryside a long way from the nearest bike shop. This saved me a long trip. Cheers brother 👏
Perfect video, very helpful! Good tips on re-joining the chain too.
You really don't know how much this video was helpful to me.iam going to fix my daughters bike.thank you very much!
Thank you so much!... I have no tools, but I have the necessary for your video!.. Love it
Thank you so much, you saved me about $30 for a new chain for my pocketbike!
Thanks a bunch! You're explanation is simple, clear and precise. Really helpful 🙏
Awesome video. I watched 10 videos before this one that were no help at all. Yours makes it so simple. Thx
Thank you for your help on this matter, I didn't want to have to buy a chain breaker, so you made this seem way more easier. :)
Oh, I like you, I really do. No bs, you use the same stuff I would and explain it so well. Thank you. How many more videos you got?😁
This video is exactly what I was looking for
this is the kind of solution ordinary people need. thanks

that was a perfect video I could use an assistant like you had there
Hey, so I watched your video. But I don't have a punch currently. Would just something pointy actually work, like scissors?
I think it's better to use nails, using your scissors will only cause the scissor break
Great video & very helpful. Thank you
Ты так только погнешь свою цепь. Под цепь следует подкладывать более твердое основание с отверстием.
Thanks mate really helpful 👍🏽

Wow
Bought a tool for this it broke.....your way seems better
Awesome, hope it's helpful
Bro, punch is a tool, as well as the hammer....
So is a brain
@@one2three123 bro, brain is an organ….…
@@perepashipole an organ is a musical instrument
@@one2three123 an instrument is a tool... the logic is restored, we may rest now
Idk what shitty chain u have but pin of mine woubt come out no matter how gard or how kong i would hit it
i dont have hommer
Anything is a hammer, use a rock, 🪨.
Now how can i get a drill and piece of metal 🙂
Read the description. Without a tool clearly means without a chain tool.... Apparently common sense just flies way above some people.
Thank you
