chain side plate

[leem00]

Any one else have problems getting the chain side plate over the master link pins?

It goes on to the point where the clip goes but won't go any further.

Preventing me from putting the clip on.

Froze the side plate in the freeze and it started to go on....

Going to freeze the master link and try that..

Are you sliding the clip around or pushing it over the pin?

In the past I have used a screwdriver to push on the loop end of the clip

Have you tried speaking with the supplier as yet?
Surely it shouldn't be that difficult to get it to go together,
maybe they supplied the incorrect size O-rings?

Thanks to bleeding appearently you have to squeeze the side plate on with the chain breaker tool... understandably clearences are extremely tight due to the high stress nature of what we are working on.

leem is right. Most master links have to be "pressed" on with a chain tool. Most chain breaker kits have the adapter plate to press on the master link plates

Yourself and the bikes alright i'm guessing?

Your in Dart and Rabbits territory now.But if you have any problems beyond the Ohio border on the way home I have a new chain, master link + that tool.Call me if you need me that way I can hear my phone ring.If I forget my phone in my tank bag or something I wont hear a text beep, but I rarely miss a call when i'm not on my bike.

What day are you riding home?I might be willing to meet you in eastern Ohio just to ride 50 on your way home depending on your plans.

yeah...the side plate stayed on, just not the clip. I had a new clip sent to me here...I am hoping my tire comes in tomorrow....that way I can call the shop up here and get things worked out.

I may have another clip ordered while I am here.

I am not coming back 50.... probably leaving here Monday of next week.
