    ahem.

    while replacing my chain with a hangover and a screaming child in next door's garden and a veritable host of trouble in the other garden (it appears there's been fraudulent purchasing of heavy duty electrical goods next door and one of the business owners who have been stung came around yesterday) i dun fucked up.

    i took too much out of the chain and then tried to rectify the wrong way. in the end i got the chain back together by knocking out the joining pins (see link)
    http://www.kmcchain.com/index.php?ln=en&fn=service#7

    with a chain breaker and then using them to rejoin the chain.

    essentially

    OOOOXOOOOOOOOOOOOO
    OOOOOOOOOOOXOOOOOO

    instead of
    OOOOXXOOOOOOOOOOOO
    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    where X = joining pins

    this is still safe isn't it? they just protude a little more than the others. i can't see any difference between the joining pin link connector plate and the other chain link connector plates.....

    yours in happy ignorance until the chain snaps.
