I use the master link. It's 8-speed chain. Of course, being a single speed
chain, I shortened it. I do not recall if I shortened it too much and
presume I did as part of my learning curve and so added length back in. No
doubt that is where the error occurred, and if so, what makes 1/8 chain

Wipperman makes 1/8' chains with the same alloys, plating and links as
their 10 speed chains. Izumi 1/8th Keirin chains are made to very high
standards as well.

Thanks, Jim. That makes sense. In my case, I put the chain on new when I
got the QB in Mid May, and I doubt the chain has stretched too much in the
ensuing two months. I will watch that though.
I did visually attempt to make the pin I pushed in with the chain tool
match the others exactly.
Hi Patrick,
Once you've got the right length set for the bike, it's easy to cut a new
chain to size. Just hang 'em side by side. The old one (that was the right
length) will be a little longer due to stretch, but you should be able to
figure out where to cut the new chain.
Watch those toes!
I've had several chains break that weren't stretched. I have the Park tool
thingy that checks for stretch. I attributed it to my heavy weight of
250+, and maybe running less oil in the past than i do now. With the low
cost of 9 speed chains i just replace them every 3-4 months now (since i
