Puncture Repair is a Myth

@autti: ah they're great. its a master link. all you need is a coin or flat head screwdriver (on your multi tool) to get them off. they only cost a quid and you don't fuck your chain by constantly braking it with a tool.

In most cases, you don't need to break the chain to remove it from your chain ring / sprocket. With any amount of slack in your chain, you can (carefully) use your fingers like a derailleur and move the chain to the side of the chain ring as you (slowly) rotate the pedals. This will unship the chain and allow you to take the wheel out of the track ends.
