How to use a chain tool on mountain bikes
Once your mountain bike chain becomes damaged, it must be replaced immediately new one. It is possible, however, to repair a broken chain using a chain tool. For this reason, most mountain bikers travel with a tool chain.
The chain has three basic components - metal side plates, the rollers between the side plates and rivets, or pins to go through the rollers and help to hold the plates. These pins allow the rollers to rotate freely in the chain
moves around the teeth.
If the chain passes break, you must remove the broken link and replace it with a spare link. To do this, simply reconnect the two ends of the broken chain and ride on a longer chain short until you can get it replaced.
To remove a broken link in the chain, put it in the tool chain. Now, turn the tool clockwise until the pin chain rivet tool touches the chain rivet. Continue rotating the tool until the pin pushes out of the roller. Be very careful because you want to stop turning when the pin is right on the edge of the roller, before it moves through
outer side plate.
Now turn the tool in the other direction, and roll back. Set the tool to the side, then work the chain very gently from side to side and remove the inner side plates and roller.
Now is the time to re-route the chain through the bike. You may want to have a retaining chain or a tool to help keep chain in the right place as the route and repair.
Now that the broken link has been removed and diverted the chain, is ready to insert a new link or simply connect the links that were beside the broken one. The process here is the same - align the two ends so that the link with
plates medial fit within the relationship with the pin and the side panels. Now, using the chain tool to push the pin inward until it is positioned evenly between the sides.
The easiest way to learn to do this or feel comfortable doing it is to have someone show you, then practical reality with a chain and a chain tool. You will have no problem at all making a temporary repair on a mountain bike chain, Once you've seen it done by a professional and practiced it a few times.
