dawes kingpin chain 1/2 x 3/32 ok?

Posted on
  • hi,

    is a 1/2 x 3/32" chain ok for a dawes kingpin?

    also, i don't have the sigma connecting link, is it ok to just use one of the existing pins to connect with?

    and i have this old mce chain extractor tool, i can't seem to get the chain to stay while tapping out the old link. any tips? i think you push down on one side of the extractor on the floor with the metal pole pushing it down, to keep the two arrow shaped bits gripped on the sides of the chain or on the side of the chain? and then wind out the pin?

    if i pull the wheel back in the dropout right to the back, and then wrap the chain around tightly, thehn when i attach the back wheel and chain, when i move the wheel to the front of the dropout, that should give enough chain play right??

    many thanks for your help.
