Sorry I but gotta tell you guys that I ain't all that cool with you stealing my lifetime supply of half-links line
OP - are you telling me that while you've gone to the trouble of taking your chain apart, you think deflating the tire to be able get a quick link in is too much work? You'll never be able to slam your wheel thinking like that. JK.
It just so happens that due to changing around tires, chainrings, and cogs on a couple bikes the over past week I did a bit of chain adjusting too. To be honest - I deflated and more - like unlooping the chains from the jagged bits to move the wheels around but I got both about as far forward in the trackends as they can be with the tires that are on them, but still be flat fixable. Give it a try - I found it oddly rewarding. And...single half-links and quick links are wonderful things...
