Hi all,
Need some help. I was out on the bike the other night when the chain snapped. I ended up pushing a long way home. Chain snapped at 9pm I got in at 1am
thanks to all you guys who stopped to check me
I got a new chain but its got a press on link thing. it seems that I have a couple of choices.
push the bike to bike treads which would take me about 2 hours and pay£5 or buy a riveting kit! Damn the kits are expensive...
Anyone around the Swindon area got one I could use for a couple of minutes to get me back on the road? would give ya a couple of £££ for your trouble? pless help

why dont you rivet it yourself thats what i have always done,. been rideing for 11+ years. just have two hammers hold one behind the chain and then with the other burr(rivet) the ends. use vice grips to push the link plate on if you have trouble

I know that split links are out of favor at the moment, but in all they years I have owned/worked on bikes I'never seen or heard of one going if fitted correctly. they are avalable for all chain sizes and types including o-ring. I know several people who carry extra splitlinks so that if the chain snapps they don't have to push the bike home.
