Yes.
It is best done by your LBS, they will have the new pin for the chain.

Just make certain that the screw and/or washer is/are replaced SECURELY (loctite will help, but there may be enough residual loctite on the screw threads). |

Yes. If the chain is a nine speed get an SRAM gold connector and if its an 8speed get an SRAM normal connector. Makes splitting and rejoining the chain a piece of piss. |

Ironically, the method suggested by Alfeng possibly saved my butt today. Chain broke twice during my ride and the second time I didnt put the chain through the mech by mistake. Not wanting to break the chain AGAIN (thus weakening it further) I took the screw out, separated the plates, slipped chain through and did up screw. Mech is a 1998 STX RC. |
