Chain question

[Bettyswallocks]

My sons just got a new frame and i'm building it up, i've come to fit the chain (standard type) its either too long or too short removing or refitting links

The dropouts are tiny and its running 25/9 gearing, do i need a half link chain??

Help please this is doin me fookin nut in.....

  You may be able to get away with buying a single half-link.It`s worked for me in the past.

Webby a half link chain will do it for you or as heywood said a half link will also do it but not as easy to get hold of

On that small gearing you have to make sure the chain is rated for that small a driver. I bought a half link that was rated for 13t(found out after) and ran it on a 9, it clicked a lot in the short time I road it. Bought a shadow conspiracy v2 rated at 9t and not a click since.

Cheers for the replies fellas, going out for tea so i'll carry on swearing at it later.... 

Bloody kids, whats wrong with 44/16 gearing and 2 inch long dropouts....

That's the last of that bike then 

Upgraded that many parts ,

there's a 4 month old KHE for sale , with most of the parts not ridden

Is it on Ebay yet 


I'm waiting for this Fit to be for sale in another 4 month 

When he wants a Campillo   

Am I right , or am I right

Sorted it temporary so he could take it the skatepark today, i lent him my rear wheel (10t driver) so it just about fitted, which left me bikeless, so i threw together one of my old shitters, lurking in bakground, can you tell what it is???



New bike in action, he learnt the spine last week....



And Christian you aint far wrong, only the cranks and brake left from the KHE he got for christmas... theifbay soon...

what i have done b4 is to grind a small amount of the drop out hole
so the wheel goes forward a tad more
then chains fits just right

Thought about doing that, just leave it with the wheel slammed in the dropout, a few of the young un's suggested that at the skatepark today

Taking the chain off to remove the wheel would do my head in cos its me that fixes it.... DAD!!!!..... 

[lazychubs]

yeah i left the snap link in so makes it easier to do
