I want to shorten my Singlespeedchain Shimano CN-NX01 1/2x1/8,,,, what tool?
Hi. I have tried to search the internet to find tips for a big, sturdy chainbreaker for my Singlespeedchain Shimano CN-NX01 1/2x1/8. Anyone have a suggestion for a really easy to use and durable tool for this job?
Thanks.

You'd use the same chain tool you would on any other 1/8" chain. You will need to use the quick link when re-joining it because the outer edges of the pins tend to get a little mangled when being pushed out.

Sturdy and durable? Here.

Interesting. I have the Park CT-7 chain tool, which is fantastic. Does that new model supersede it ? There's nothing worse than a cheap chain tool.

The CT-3.2 replaced both the CT-3 and CT-7.

So the CT-3.2 is good for a 1/8 chain?

Yes, It will do every kind of chain except Campy 11-speed.
