To remove a chain on a derailleur geared bicycle:
• Fit the rivet tool so that the punch pin is centered over
any one of the chain rivets.
• Push the rivet almost all the way out, then back out the
punch and remove he tool.
• Holding the chain on both sides of the punched rivet,
bend it slightly to release the link from the rivet.
Adjustment and Replacement
The chains on derailleur geared bicycles are automatically
tensioned by the rear derailleur making manual adjustment
of the chain unnecessary. The chains on derailleur geared
bicycles are narrower, meaning a special tool is needed to
complete any of the procedures
.
Check that all links of the chain move freely. Replace the
chain if it appears stretched, broken or causes problems
when changing gears.
