OK the new cassette is due today. I have researched this but would really appreciate comments and/or advice on what I am about to do as follows:

I plan to change chains so I think the process is to push a pin, (not the master pin) someplace on the chain opposite the master pin. At least not too close to the master pin. I plan to use a KMC X 11 SL chain with the missing link that comes with that chain on the new cassette cut to the length as discussed above.

if I ever go back to the old cassette I would like to use a missing link instead of the master pin. I will have to remove a half link if I do this.

Any cautions, tips or tricks to removing and replacing to cassette. This is my first but think I understand the basic process.

thanks
