Hello,

With my previous thread about chain lubrication, I realized that I have
always had some trouble installing a chain. It is not really difficult,
but several issues complicate the procedu the crankcase makes it hard
to position the chain around the ring, and the final assembly is done
under tension from the derailleur.

Perhaps there are some tricks to ease the procedure?

A multi-tool I bought has a spring wire hook thingy to holt the ends close
so you can slip the link in.

Its easier to just dismount the chain so there's no tension, than rummaging
through the tool kit.
