Hi all:
Can't quite get a straight answer on this so I thought I'd ask here. I
have a KMC chain. The plates are marked "KMC", "Narrow", "Z" and
"Z-44". There doesn't appear to be a master link. All the pins, save
one, look exactly the same; the one "odd" one is a black pin.
So, how does one seperate the chain to remove it from the bike?
1)In the old-fashioned way of partially pushing out a pin and pushing
the pin back in to re-assemble? If so, is the black pin to me avoided
in this exercise, or is that "the one" pin you *can* partially push
out?
2)Completely pushing out a pin and then using a special replacement pin
like on Shimano chains? Is that what that one black link on the KMC
chain is? Will Shimano replacement pins work?
TIA.
