Picture needed....

[Ash999]

I was wondering if someone could like take a picture of the soft link of their chain so i can see how much it needs to be flared. I noted that some people said it requires a high amount of effort to flare the pins adequately. I got a Motrax chain break/press/rivet kit, and it all went fine, I just dont know how much it needs to be flared. I just dont want the chain coming off again. I thought someone maybe helpful enough to take a picture of theirs, ive looked all over the net and couldnt find pics. Any help appreciated.


Cheers

were you all waiting for someone to post on this thread....?

Does the ends really have to be that pressed?? I have an Iris chain and just got a replacement link, it says in the kit not to overtighten it, otherwise it will overtighten the link. i was just wondering what sort of tension is required to effectively flaring the end of the pin. I was putting quite a bit of force on mine but obviously dont want to snap it!

[Ash999]

oh and thanks for the great pics! forgot to say thanks for taking the effort to photograph! cheers

Couldn't tell you as the bike shop did mine for free. but I know he tighten it checked it was still free then tightened it again till he felt a slight resistence, the same as the links next to it perhaps.

therein lies another query --- ! as to why folk fly this when ENGLAND are playing.!!!! and why when ENGLAND play we sing the national Anthem !... yet when UK play we still sing national Anthem ! (olympics etc)

we should have something more rousing for England like jerusalem or Land of HAG

I thought it was just the union Jack when attached to the mast on a ship

Wikipedia quote

"Jacks are additional national flags flown by warships (and certain other vessels) at the head of the ship. These are usually flown only when not underway and when the ship is dressed on special occasions." :P :lol:
