With a 6 speed chain on a Wal-Mart type bike, can I break the chain and re-join with the same pin?
If it's similar shimano cheapness, you probably just need to adjust the cable, and assuming you can get the pin fully seated without pinching the links there to tightly, I see no problem with doing that.. but more experienced heads will weigh in I'm sure.
