    Guys,

    I'm new to this, so go easy. I have a roadbike, and the chain snapped a while back. I bought a new one, and without thinking, stuck it on the bike, and connected it - job done.

    Then I realised it was too long, so went back to the shop, bought a tool to take the chain apart. So now I have "broken" the chain, and removed a few links by "breaking" it further back.

    Now, I can't see how to get it back together again?? I just cant get the little rod into the hole for love nor money...

    There must be a technique to this that I'm missing? Help!
