The chain is too short for my bike now. It's a CN-HG53 9 speed 114 is there any way for me to reuse these pins and links? And how?

Get a quick link or two
Add some quicklinks
Don’t re-use pins. You can either use new chain pins or another master link.
Reusing pins will cause a failure at some point. Just buy another master link/quick link and run two on the chain. No problem
Quicklinks are great, but also you can just buy fresh pins. They’re way cheaper and they’re easy
just reuse the pins and add chain back, ignore the haters, if you cant live woth it then add quick links.
buy a few pins [https://www.bike24.com/p2117524.html](https://www.bike24.com/p2117524.html) and put it back together.
