How to fix a broken chain

For our second monthly Tech Tip in partnership with our friends at Pinkbike, fix a broken chain and how to properly use a chain tool.


While breaking a chain may not be quite as common as it once was, it can still quickly ruin a good day on the bike. And if you haven't yet broken a chain while miles out in the forest, your time is coming! Unlike some other mechanicals, if you don't have the proper tools and knowledge to sort out this problem on the trail, it will mean that you are dead in the water. A chain tool is a mandatory piece of equipment that should always be in your backpack. Thankfully this only requires a single tool to fix and can take just minutes once you have the technique nailed down.

Below you'll find step by step instructions and a How-To video.
