Recently had some work done on my bike and, on advice from the shop, decided
to go for 2 chains removing one and putting on a clean one every month or
so. The chains I have are the type that join via 2 similar pieces that clip
on to each other through the chain ends and slide into position. The demo in
the shop seemed simple but of course after use I can't slide the 2 parts
apart at all. I've squirted on WD40 to try and loosen things up but spent
about 30 mins with no signs of movement - any tips on getting this chain off
the bike?
Next up - the bike shop recommended petrol as a cleaner to keep the chain in
or wipe with before using it again. Any simpler solutions eg white spirit or
turps or something?
Thanks.
