Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest Bluesky Threads Had to extend chain to be able to shift all 10 gears, but not sure if this is ok. I added one extra middle link and one extra quick link. It shifts fine now. by Weird-University1361 Bicycling Bike Bike Repair Biking Cycling Repair
FloorZealousideal856 on May 18, 2025 8:06 pm Yep it’s fine. I’ve had 7 quick links in a chain once. The chain worked fine till it was retired at 0.5% wear.
mlydon11 on May 18, 2025 8:12 pm Seth’s Bike Hacks on YouTube made an entire chain out of quick links. No issues you’ll be fine.
