Your Done! Just remember to check the chain tension (droop) and examine the master link in a couple of hundred miles or so.

(got 20,000 miles out of them, barely- The "hardened" rear sprocket was trashed so badly that the chain would jump a tooth under medium to heavy acceleration. egad. you'll love the photograph comparing new and old sprockets) So anyway, I have a DID X-Ring chain, and now they only ship rivet-type links instead of clip-on. I bit the bullet and spent the $65 for a rivet tool, and put it all together. The master link has a dimple or hole in each of the two posts. I used the "flare" tool on the rivet press to expand the two post ends. The question I have is, Am I done? Or am I expected to use the other press tool to flatten the cones down?
