How can I shorten a bike chain without having the chain remover/extractor/splitter tool?
I have a heavy bicycle chain that I need to shorten in order for it to fit on my new sprocket. I have disconnected the master link but I need to remove several links in order for it to fit properly. I do not have chain splitter tool and I notice they no longer sell these things in your average department store. Is there a way to remove chain links without it without damaging the integrity of the chain itself? Thanks so much in advance for anyone with any kind of an answer.
Answer:
When I was a lot younger, I have used a hammer and punch to split a chain, but now I'd only do it that way in an absolute emergency.
All cycle stores should have chain splitting tools in stock, and I've attached a link to a company that sells them, and will dispatch world wide.
If you really don't want to get one, I'm sure your local cycle store would do it for a minimal fee.
