Wap,

If the chain you lost the pin out of is going free you could let the Hackney Bikeworkshop have it http://www.lfgss.com/thread77728.html it is on tomorrow you could fit the chain there too. Some of our trainees have very little money so it is good to get them mobile by making their bikes work properly.

If you still have spare links, couldn't you just use those? Seems a bit crazy to go buy a new chain.

As a philosophical test you could imagine you have no tools and use a rock as a hammer. Had to do this once in the countryside when stupidly cycling without tools. There is nothing like the winter sun going down to focus one's concentration.. That was 20 years ago and now I am weak minded and would probably buy a new chain

You mentioned that you removed some links, so I assume you've got some spare length. Could you not simply remove the pin-free link and replace it with one of the links you removed earlier?

Cheers. DoctorBike - possibly stating the obvious (or, as I've just noticed, repeating someone else's suggestion).

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
