new chain for TT250

[flopsweat]

The guy I saw used an old link that was cut off to press against the side of the new master link, then a regular clamp to squeeze it down carefully.


Tapering the master link pins is where I'm scratching my head, without using the special tool.



Also, does it sound like a good idea to lay the new chain next to the old one to measure it, and remove the new links to keep it 1-2 links longer than the old one? I'm sooo worried about removing a link too many.
