Splitting a hyperglide chain

Posted on
  • I'm probably being a moron- I've not split a hyperglide before, always used SRAM etc.

    Now I need to split it, got the link in the chain tool and the pin I chose will not move at all.

    Do I just need to HTFU and increase the pressure, or do I need a specific tool?

  • Got bored waiting, HTFU'd and pushed the link out.
    Ignore me.

  • Neil, always have a can of HardenTheFuckUp™ on hand for these kinds of situations.

  • Ordered a case.

  • ALPO

    Afloja Las Piezas Oxidadas.

  • aureus.

  • The case of HTFU/ALPO is sorely needed- of the three bikes two need making rideable.

    hey Tman, you gotta edit the words on the can, i'm sure you can(no pun intended) come up with some suitable *this stuff does................stop saddle soreness.
    etc....

  • Don't fuck around with Shimano pins when putting it back together, use SRAM Powerlinks.

  • If I had a 10 speed SRAM chain I would have used it- only had a 9 speed, which I doubt would have made the road bike happy, and it would have made the mountain bike very upset as it needs it.

    Anyway, chain has been split, mech swapped and chain replaced.

    HTFU spray and testosterone have combined to give the flat a heady aroma, and I am spent.

    You need to wipe the walls down before your girlfriend gets back.

    I already did - but maybe too subtle.

    [EDIT] I think I get what you mean now, a list of common bike problems . . .
