Hey all im new so forgive me if this isnt the correct forum for posting this question.I ride BmX/Street 19" top tube 20 inch wheels and i just changed my 44 tooth sprocket to a 36 tooth, my freewheel is a 16tooth.My problem is the chain size and i need to remove some links so that the chain will be taut.I already removed the master link (3 piece,1/2 x 1/8 chain) but how do i go about actually removing links?.Can this be done without going to a shop?.Thanx in advance..
