missing link

pixcil · 2015-03-31 18:32:52

I have just bought a 8 speed shimano chain and trying to use a sram 8 speed missing link and impossible to join! Tried a 7 speed link and impossible to join! What the hell is going on? Do I need to employ two ruddy elephants to pull the chain apart so as the links work! I have tried sram links and kmc links and nothing…

Put the link in, position chain so that missing link is between the top of the chainring and top of cassette. Put bike on ground, pedal at 3 o clock. Pull front brake, stand on pedal. Link should lock in place.
