Afternoon all,

I have to add a couple of links to a 12-speed 1x Sram drivetrain. My kid wants a 36 tooth chainring instead of a 32.

I have a new chain but the current one has no discernible stretch, so I was going to lop off a couple of links and add them.

I have never had much success with this in the past; the chain pin always seems to end up really stiff and the ‘new’ link won’t flex nicely.

I have a decent chain tool.

any tips from you guys for a better result?

thanks in advance.
