Hi,
I have a new chain on my bike: Shimano Bike Dura Ace Cn-7801 Narrow 10 Speed
It's got about 300 miles on it, not more.
I've been running an Ultegra FD-6700 but just got a great deal on a Dura Ace FD-7900 (to match my shifters) so I want to swap them out.
The FD-7900 has a screw so it's easy to install but the FD-6700 is riveted closed - means I've got to break the new chain, I guess.
I have the pin and tool to break and relink, but I'm worried that a chain should only be broken once. Will I be weakening the chain if I break it again to do this install? Should I avoid doing this?
Thanks for any thoughts.
Pat
