I'm looking to replace my chain, but a common problem I've always had when replacing them, is that once I've shortened it (and used the link-extractor tool to re-insert the link pin), it always leaves me with a tight spot, where it effective tightens/crushes the link together under the pressure.
Does anyone have any tips on how to avoid this?
Cheers!
