Question about using two split links in a chain

i have a bike , currently with a 50t ring and 18,19 or 20t cogs depending on the wind and where im going and all that.

the velodrome in huyton will be opening soon and im really looking forward to going there.

to set my bike up for track use ill be needing to use 15t and 16t cogs, right , say 50/19 for riding there and then flip the wheel onto 50/16 whilst there.

thing is the chains i have are either to short for the 19t or to long for the 16t.

so my question is , what should i do , ???? take two chains ? or is it possible to use two split links and an extra male link in my chain and shorten / lengthen the chain as i switch the cogs over. is it safe to use two split links ? will consantly removing / replacing the split links weaken them ?

what do you guys do in a situation like this .

cheers !!!

Man up and run a big gear on the street?

isn't this what horizontal dropouts are for?

They won't take the slack of 15t when it's normally used on a 20t. Unless you cave a carbon Dolan that is.

Wouldn't the two bits of chain wear differently? Don't know if it would be enough to cause any meshing problems mind.

isn't this what horizontal dropouts are for?

yes. but 50/16 and flipping to 50/19 , sometimes the dropouts just are'nt long enough. wich is why im asking.

Yes

........anyway, im fine flipping the wheel from a 19t to 16t cog, so long as a put a very small tyre on there.

schwalbe durano s , 23c didnt work. the tyre rubbed up against the seattube on the 19t cog.

......veloflex 23c, worked just fine , good 1 maybe 2 mm's of clearance between the seatube and tyre.

23c. ............???????? HA !!!! i suppose manufacture's sizing gives you a rough idea of what the tyres are going to be like. means nothing until you actually stick em on.

im an XL condom size by the way.
