Bilko Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) Think that chain spit link needs minor change to opposite direction. Edited March 31, 2018 by Bilko 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bondy Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 from what I can see the split link is the correct way with the closed end facing forward just off topic dose any 1 have a photo of witch way the water pump seal goes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheel rims not very shiney, you obviously use your bike?? I guess being old, and long time rider and mechanic, but still able to make a mistake could have had the clip installed wrong. On another website it was suggested to install the master link with the clip towards the tire to lessen tne chances of a rock knocking it off. Seems logical, so an easy swap. As for those rims...two things, first they are a brushed and anodized finish that is not shiny. Yes they are dirty, this bike is ridden, but does get washed, just not so much bright polished to be as pretty as the OSSA MAR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmk Posted April 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 FWIW, I did take a minute and flipped the master link so the clip is on the tire side of the chain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
