I have general kitchen utensils (just broken the tin opener), assorted allen keys, a puncture repair kit and a nipple key.
I've just shortened the chain by a few links (new cassette), reattached it with Shimano connecting pins (the double length ones) but now have the extra poking through. No tools in the new house yet...
Any suggestions?
I'm being mostly sensible. If the chain isn't repaired tonight, I'm driving the wife to work....again...!
Thanks
No power links?
presumably you have a chain tool?
My chain tool(s) have a little gap on the side which is used to snap off the thingy
I don;t think I've ever actually used pliars to do it
ride it. It'll snap off when it hits the derraileur cage 😉
I've always snapped them off using the hole in the chain tool.
I've got a few power links but was keeping them for mid-ride repairs.
Got a chain tool, but no holes anywhere.
Just broken a fork (table, not Bomber!)
wwaswas - I'd already had a half-hearted attempt at that method!
There's a power link already in the chain so I've got it off the bike. Wandering around the house looking for small holes and wondering if a door hinge would work!
EDIT: Kitchen scissors! They won't do much cutting again, but at least the chain pin's off!
If there was already a power link there why didn't you just shorten it where that is?
wwaswas.... hahahahahahahahahaha! Been a long day. It hadn't even crossed my mind I could do that. All's well that ends well.

Is it the day off for your care supervisor?
