You can get "soft links" for all chains, in fact i think nearly all new chains for larger capacity bikes come with a "Soft Link", I would be loath to use a "Split Link" on any bike above 250cc.


Chris

sorry - yes I was talking about a split link (with the little circlip), although this tool should still help with that.

Kev, you are absolutely right - one lesson I have learnt in life is that the quality remains long after the price is forgotten.

I don't mind spending money on socket sets, etc that I use all the time but it is annoying to have to spend a lot on something that gets used very infrequently. Perhaps the solution is to club together with mates who live close by to get a joint set of good tools?
