Title: Master link rivets mushroomed out enough?
Post by: mrdrprof on March 05, 2018, 05:59:03 PM
I replaced my first chain ever yesterday and used a rivet type master link. The other pins are at 5.7-5.75mm and the master link pins are at 5.1-5.2mm. Is this enough? I tried pressing some more but there's a LOT of resistance in the tool and I don't wanna break a pin by going too far. It looks like they mushroomed out okay but I'm not an expert with this stuff yet. I would post a picture but the file size is too large  >:(  Thanks for any feedback  :D

It may be hard to judge without a picture.

Attaching to the forum doesn't work, you'll need to host the photo on a website like ImageShack and post it here in a link.
