Isn't there a dumb ass thread going.
Not my chain.
modern chains cannot have the pin re-used. It must be pushed all the way out and discarded. Campagnolo takes it a step further and the outer places of the broken link must be discarded and replaced with new links! Sram uses master links (as does KMC) so you "cut" the chain and install you master and always use that to take it on and off. Shimano and campagnolo require replacement pins. I prefer the pin system.
