Quoted message said:

when pressing in the the new pin, which end gets broken off? i didnt hear any click, , so i pushed
the pin all the way through till the tapered end was just out out of the sideplate and thats the
pice that i snapped off, is this correct? one of the bike books i have seemed to have the opposite
installing instructions. saying press new pin in and break off when flush with side plate.
thankyou

If I understand you correctly, you're right. Push the pin all the way through until the square end
(the end that your chain tool is pushing on) is more-or-less flush with the chain side-plates. Then
break off and discard the tapered half.

Craig.

Or get yourself quick release link (like SuperLink or the SRAM clone) and stop paying $2.00+ every
time you remove your chain.

May you have the wind at your back. And a really low gear for the hills! Chris
