After changing an 11 speed chain, and setting a Shimano quick link, I'm not sure you can seat one of those on the road. I was worried about stomping the pedal, and it wasn't happening by hand. I used a large set of snap ring pliers, and it took some force to seat it.

I bought another chain and borrowed the tool from the LBS and it has been ok since.
I told the story before of how a side plate came loose on my Shimano chain once when I was in the mountains. It started making noise and I just wanted to get out of the mountains so I didn't even stop to check it. Lots of descending but some climbing too and when I got done one plate was just hanging by one pin and the other plate carried the load during those climbs. Maybe I didn't make enough watts to finish it off because I was so tired.
More than once I had rollers fall out on the old chains and just the pin was left. Mr. Maintenance.

Then there is this brain trust from NJ who gave his name and home state to the media while he described how he stormed the Capitol:

It feels like a Friday. It's a pity that it's not actually Friday.

I hope so. I have been boycotting Taco Bell since they pitched it. Actually have not been to Taco Bell for quite some time before they pitched it, but not going back until the 7 layer is back.

Some Shimano chains are directional. The story is the link plates are shaped to allow smoother shifting. I'm not sure how much difference it makes if you put it on wrong but once the shift is completed it shouldn't make any difference.
If you stand on the pedals and the chain skips over the teeth on the cassette you need a new cassette. When this happens it feels like you are stripping a gear and it is violent. This assumes obvious things are checked, like chain wrap around the cog and derailleur tension.
Is this the same bike that had the chain hanging limp? I hope you got that sorted before you put on a new chain.

It would only skip a couple teeth in back when I stood up and really torqued the crank hard with something like 300W. Which for me is a LOT of power.

I'm thinking the industry is gearing up for crits that can be raced in your garage.

Not really. Feels like any other workday. However, Tuesdays have a feel at the rjones28 World Headquarters. That's Mrs. rjones28's work-from-home day.
