I just bought a new SRAM single speed chain for my fixehbeik.
For some reason it doesn't have a powerlink, or powerlock or whatever fancy chain linking piece.
It just has what looks like a regular face plate from a chain, plus the regular two pronged bit of link.
How the fuck do I connect it? It's just too small to attach.
Also how do I avoid getting an sram chain with a shitty linking piece like this in the future? This wasn't some super cheapo chain either.
It is a fancy connector. Instert the bit with the pins attached and offer up the other plate to were it should be. You will have to bende the chain a bit to get the pins into their holes. I don't recall if yoy bend inwards or outwards though.
Bend it so the tips of the pins move together, ie bend it towards you if the pins point towards you.

It's the least fancy connector there is, short of being told to get your chain tool out and join it the old fashioned way.
