[QUOTE="David Trustrum, post: 107127, member: 21529"] Yeah cutting through the link saves a lot of hassle but you do have to be a little clever holding the chain when you punch it. Sometimes a gearing vs chain length combo puts you in a posi where the chain adjusters are in the half worn position. It is irrelevant. By the time your chain stretches that far it is probably toast anyway. You can always remove a link later but please nobody reading this think I’m endorsing removing a link of a very stretched chain, that is stupid. Do the usual pull the chain off the sprockets & if you see ½ the teeth then it is too stretched to carry on with. Make sure any tensioners you may have on the bike are pulled out of the way when fitting up the chain for length. After you adjust it sit on the bike & check the chain doesn’t get too tight, loosen as required. [/QUOTE]
