Fingerboy means Floyd Landis and WDC = World Dance Council? Didn't know he is so good off the bike. Must have practiced diligently during his salad days and what a talent!

damn this looks freaking easy man...I can do this myself..not a probs. Just get the tool..i think around 125 here.

Anyway, apart from the cassette, I know I need to take off a few chain links as the one I use currently is quite long to suit the 32T. my previous lbs mentioned the chain has this 'magic link' or something..do i need a special tool to remove some of the chains or i can do it by hand? thx guys..

need quick reply here as I'm off to shop to buy the stuffs (im determined to become a self mechanic at home) flex.gif

you will need a chaintool to remove extra links from the current chain

as for the 'magic link', there is a special tool but i think a plier will do as well

i thought he said " need to take off a few chain links "? no chain tool how to remove the pin that connect the extra links that need to be removed?

missing link' or 'powerlink' connectors are just a quick way for removal of the 'entire' chain... correct me if wrong tongue.gif

u can buy the chain tool only, or u can get the one with multi-tool

by the way, if u have the tool like 2nd pic in ryan's reply, it'll be much easier to remove the connector plate. if u don't want to use that tool, u can follow the tip in the link i gave u before.

no one says it's hard... jus no point getting the tools for a one time thing when the bike shop can do it...

the sram powerlinks can be disconnected with a needle nose plier... to hook it back up.. jus align the plates and put force on the crank in the direction of a normal pedal stroke and the pins will slot back in...

cutting chain is inevitably a job for a chain breaker... no escape...

old days where got so much tools... jus flat head screwdriver, rubber mallet, wood wedge and a steel tube larger than your steerer tube to bang in the bearing seats and cups...

of course if you sayang your carbon frame... then you have to spend it on the cup presses and stuff lar...

multi tools chain breakers are lousy... they are jus for road side fixes and usually harder to use due to the size...and as you fiddle with the tiny chain breaker... you risk bending and breaking the push rod that pushes the pin out if you masuk the wrong angle...

it'll work... but as the pins shrinks smaller... the little piece also grows smaller and also easier to break.. and if it breaks... your multi tool will be not so multi anymore...

like that.. you need to go bike shop work a couple of months first...

the park tools is the least of your worries financially... when you start needing a snapon tool storage cab...
