Quick link use on older chains
Is it frowned on to use a 6 speed quick link on an older chain that is continuously pinned with no link. Putting the chains back together by pressing the pin back in seems like a weak link so to speak. Since we are talking 3/32” inner plate distances are they pretty much the same? Would one measure a pin that was pushed out to confirm that it is the same diameter as the quick link? just wondering.
