Kalahari Vegmot Posted February 15, 2018 Share Ordered off e-bay. Tried it out when I got home from work, worked a treat on a KMC11XL as well as a 9 speed KMC chain. The claws fit easily into the 11 speed link with clearance to spare, so could possibly fit on a 12 speed as well. kmc3.jpgkmc4.jpgLink china Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piston ZA Posted February 15, 2018 Share if you're in a pinch try thisTried the shoe lace method the other day when I was in a bind on the trail. That thing did not want to budge, so that KMC tool looks like a great option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceCreamMan Posted February 15, 2018 Share eBay is a marvelous thing. These R1B shoes normally retail for around 250 pounds, best price I could find in the stores was around 180. On eBay from a dealer getting rid of stock I was the highest bidder for 99 pounds, that’s less than what the R5b goes for.

GrahamS2 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Tried the shoe lace method the other day when I was in a bind on the trail. That thing did not want to budge, so that KMC tool looks like a great option.The trick with quicklinks is to press the side plates together at the same time as pushing the pins towards each other. The pin heads are seated in a little recess in the plates (that's the 'click' you hear when installing one). If you don't press the side plates you are effectively pushing against a (minute) metal wall i.e it's going nowhere! Piston ZA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane_Bosch Posted February 16, 2018 Share I made myself very popular when I got that bike for my missus So am I doing the right thing? She's on an SCR. It's a great starter bike but it's a tad heavy and frankly it rolls like Schidt. I looked at the Envie for her but I think that's just way too racy. She likes to put in the miles but at a leisurely pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splat Posted February 16, 2018 Share My missus was borrowing a 14kg steel Trek with 39x53 chainring and 11-23 cassette. As a newbie, obviously battled every hill and had to walk the odd one. very demoralising. This bike has a compact crank and a nice wide cassette at the back - perfect for cruising the flats and spinning the climbs. Carbon frame is nice. Paintjob is lovely (very important), but the wheels are heavy. I would love to upgrade those at some point. Duane_Bosch and Andrew_Smith 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
