I did, it didn't.

You are supposed to completely disassemble the chain first.

That's a coincedence. I have a V-REX too. I too would like to be able to compare and contrast it to
the SM on the hills (such as they are around here), flats and twistys, and maybe even the occasional
hill. It's gonna' wait till the waether warms up and dries out. Big difference on the trainer. On
the V-REX I had to look down to see the TV, from the SM, I look up at it.
