Maybe thats ghetto, maybe that isnt recommended, but its absolutely doable and is consistent too.


Its tough going to get a pin back in, but one can be set in too if its completely removed. The magic of patience.
A 7spd chain is very different than an 11spd one.

Do that on a 10s or 11spd and you'll snap the chain apart on your first hill climbed in anger.
