DGFUNNY70 Posted February 10, 2010 Report Posted February 10, 2010 I changed the size of my tires from 20" to 22" I also changed my gearing but not enough. I bought new gears better ratio and reused the other chain because I had only used it about 10 hours or so. I took the bike out for a ride everything was going ok but the chain was a little loose so I tightened it a little. We then took off for the lake and on the way the master link fell out and the chain was wrapped around the axle. I would not usually reuse a chain except in a pinch I was wondering if anyone here would reuse the chain or buy a new one. Quote
broncbob Posted February 10, 2010 Report Posted February 10, 2010 I'd buy a new one now. If the chain the lost it's master only had 10 hours on it, and it was on new chain wheels, then I would have reused it . Quote
BSHEE400 Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 i'd reuse it also, sounds like the clip on the master link wasn't installed properly Quote
firebanshee Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 (edited) If it was a good quality chain to begin with i would reuse it as long as no links were bent. Make sure you put the clip on the master link on in the right direction. Edited February 11, 2010 by firebanshee Quote
KaosBanshee44 Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 Just put some lube on it and reuse it lol Quote
