I bought a used bike with all Shimano Dura-Ace components.
Installing a new Shimano chain CN-7701, the instructions clearly note
that if you have to adjust the length of the chain (which I do),
that... "The chain will be damaged if it is cut at a place where it
has been joined with a reinforced connecting pin or an end pin."
The diagram that came with the chain shows three very different
looking pins, identifying one as a reinforced connecting pin, one as
an end pin, and a third as a link pin.
I carefully examined every pin on both sides of the chain under a good
light and with a magnifying glass and every pin looks exactly like
every other pin.
How do I identify which pin is the link pin. Does it actually
matter??? Really frustrating!!
Many thanks,
Bob
