Long Chain

I have an Electra Cruiser Lux 7d. It has a chain 128 links long. I have changed the chain ring and cassette by 4 teeth so I could shorten the chain by that amount. I want to buy a new chain but I don't find any that length. They are usually 114 to 116 links long, so will I need to buy two chains?


When using a chain breaker can you just push the pin back in and put together a proper length chain with no master links and is a proper strength? I use to work at a Stihl dealership and I made chains to length. There was a special tool to swage the master link in place. The same thing for 6 foot plus long Mercedes timing chains. The chain I would like to get is a Connex 808.


Any help will be appreciated......calfee
