|   question about chain pins..... | Bruno S

Instead a small spike may be left at the end of the pin. Once installed, should I file the end of the replacement pin so it is as flat as the others? |

Mar 27, 2003 2:28 PM | | I've always used SRAM chains with the masterlink. My new bike came with a dura-ace chain. Pins were $5 for 5, still cheaper than buying a new SRAM chain. |

Mar 27, 2003 1:42 PM | | Just file the break-off part down-keep it from knicking the cogs on it's way around. Buy an SRAM chain when this one wears out. |
| YES!!! | Woof the dog
Mar 27, 2003 2:03 PM | | just leave it, it will grind away on its own. i wouldn't even think it would rub the neighboring cogs at all. |
| YES!!! | Bruno S
Mar 27, 2003 2:26 PM | | I'm concerned about the front derailer cage. The material used in the pins must be very hard and may never grind away. |

Mar 27, 2003 6:13 PM | | so sram is a good chain..what u think about sachs? |
| YES!!! | Bruno S
Mar 27, 2003 9:35 PM | | I believe SRAM and sachs is the same company. SRAM makes sacks chains with the patented power link. |
| Same chain | russw19
Mar 27, 2003 10:37 PM | | Same thing. Sram/Sachs/Sedis all the same chain. |
