Hi there, I am sure this is an easy question but I still do not quite know the answer is after some googling:

The Shimano 11-speed chains come with a connecting pin that you use when installing the chain for the first time. What happens now if I am out on the road and my chain tears? Do I need another connecting pin to fix it or is it possible to use one of the standard pins in any of the chain links? Using a chain tool of course....

Thanks!

Lars
