I need to remove the chain on my Kilo TT stripper but I'm have trouble. Is there a special master pin on this chain that I need to remove or is there something else I should be looking for? The chain is a KMC Z

thanks

See page 2 for my response of what the **** happened with this whole situation-

To remove the pins, you'll need a chain tool like this:


Why are you removing the chain?

If you have to ask, you should not be doing it yourself. Take your bike to your LBS.

Oh yeah...and that.

+1 save your self a new chain, watch as they do it and pick up a chain breaker at the same time then next time you can try yourself

I have a chain breaker (like the one in the picture) but the pins don't want to come out. It looks like not all of them aren't made to come out or maybe I'm doing it wrong, I was looking to see if someone who had the same bike has taken it off before.

So back to my question, is there a specific pin I need to look for to take out?

they should all be able to come out. make sure your chain is in the proper shelf on the chain tool and it's lined up right.

So you're just taking your chain off for fun?

Nope, not for fun. To put a new wheel on


So it turns out the pins are just stubborn as ****, probably from the chain not being properly greased in the first place. I had to grab the handle of the chain tool with a pair of vice grips and strike the turning-handle with a hammer for about 5 minutes in order to get it to pop-out. I was expecting this to work with just manually spinning the pin out, so thats why I was askin in the first place.

Thanks

dude you can drop the wheel out without undoing the chain are you for real right now?

Is your chain rusted? It shouldn't be hard even with a totally dry chain.


Why are you taking off the chain to replace the wheel? Are you using a different size cog that won't let you tension the chain?

Put the chain in the farthest part to the left of your chain tool, if you turn the turny thing with your right hand. But you don't need to break the chain to take your wheel off man. Take a minute and you will figure it out.

bahahha

Omg!

Did I miss something? >:C

You should never use brute force on anything, especially something as delicate (relatively) as a bike, unless you know exactly what you're trying to do. I can't believe that your doing this won't have a) broken the pin on your chain tool, and b) bent the plates on the chain beyond repair.

Loosen your axle nuts, push the wheel forward in the drop outs, slip the chain off the cog and pull it around the dropouts/ends so that you can pull the wheel out. Voila. Wheel is off.

i wish this person would make a youtube video how to of removing a rear wheel with his have to break the chain method

I could see it if his chain is super taut with the wheel jammed all the way in the track ends.

that musta been a biatch to get on in the first place!

The head shake was aimed at the OP, not you.

No problem. People do this all the time at the track. Simply unbolt the chainring, then bolt it back on after changing the wheel.
