Chain pins
Bought a new chain and it came with two pins (
http://members.pcug.org.au/~rcook/images/Chain_pins.jpg ) I can't get pin B back in (though I haven't tried a bit more force) Pin A seems to be a Pin B with an insertion guide which can be broken off after insertion. This seems to be a 'use once' system and wonder if I am right on that score? Seems to be an unsatisfactory means of joining chains and ask if this some kind of cheapy connection method TIA Owen |

This seems to be a 'use once' system and wonder if I am right on that score? Seems to be an unsatisfactory means of joining chains and ask if this some kind of cheapy connection method Pin B is a used pin that was pushed out with a chainbreaker; both ends appear peened. It should have been discarded before the chain was sold to you. Pin B is a Shimano use-once pin, and yes, you insert it and break it off. Trying to re-use B will likely damage the chain; don't do it. Although there are premature wear issues with some of them, I prefer to use snaplinks instead of Shimano's pins precisely because they usually can be reused. Since my preferred method of cleaning a chain is to remove it and solvent-wash it in a 2 liter plastic bottle, having to buy a new pin each time seems like an unnecessary waste. The snaplink manufacturers all say that their links work only with specific models of their own chains, but I have enjoyed wide lack of symptoms of any compatibility issues as long as I have kept to the appropriate width of link for the chain. Apparently, there's a great deal more standardization than is admitted. -- My email address is antispammed; pull WEEDS if replying via e-mail. Typoes are not a bug, they're a feature.
