Full Bushing 3/32nd" chains are now sold as being for IGH.. with the pins sticking up proud above the outside of the link plate

I can Use a Chain Tool to close the Loop , I got a 3/32nd" wide half link I use that as a place to open the chain at the same spot .

By not being Bent sideways there is little chance the pin will come out..

BITD, that was the type of chain the Pros races on, With 6 speed Freewheels .



Now Bushingless chains have flush Pins, that are best left as they were Produced in the chain Making Machine..
