dajogejr Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 There are two ways...the caveman way and the easy as pie way. Caveman way...you figure out how many links you have to cut off, take a grinder, grind the head of the pin off and use a hammer and punch or a vise, punch and socket to hammer or press it out. Or you could buy a tool called a chain break. You simply use any old ratchet or impact gun to push the pin out...very, very easy and simple... http://www.rockymountainatv.com/productDet...odFamilyId=1473 Your local dealer will probably have one for a few more bucks... They are worth every penny IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brugal Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Did you actually read my post? 300 foot of SAND.... I agreed with you dajogejr,16/44 arent the type of gears an asphalt drag shee would have. Let me take this chance to thank you for the swingarm pivot bolt mod.Its great. Sorry for jacking the thread.13turbo.With the new swingarm and gears shees gonna be a fun bike. rock mountain atv has the chain breaker for like 12 bucks.

I asked why would anyone wold run a 44 rear on asphalt?Your answer was because"maybe thats what works best"Well thanks for keeping it simple bigboy. The stupid comment was "why would anyone run a 44"...Uhhh...the same reason you would run any size sprocket, cause its what worked best at the time/place he ran it before. Then you followed up with the comment about explaining how it could be a "realistic" asphalt setup...again, cause maybe that's what got the guy down the track the quickest. You came off cocky and "knowing it all" by acting like running a 44 tooth sprocket is the most ridiculous thing in the world...when its actually quite common in drag setups. I, like John did, keep several sprockets on hand, one of them being a 44, and I had to use it once to compensate for tire size. When you're at the track and don't have access to an impact, you use what you have to get your setup right. Is this better and more explanative for you? The point was there isn't a "right" or "wrong" gearing for an asphalt setup. You use what works best. My comment was kept simple because there is nothing complicated about what we're talking about. Some things don't have to be complex to be accurate. :shrug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
