Can you take links off a bike chain?
Every link on a chain is held in place with a chain pin. In some cases, you have to remove a link or two. To remove the link, you need to remove the pin. This can be done with either a chain link gadget or a hammer.
How often should I change my bike chain?
To avoid this accelerated wear of your cassette and chainrings, a general rule of thumb is to replace your bike’s chain every 2,000 miles. Mind you, this is just a starting point. No two chains will wear at exactly the same rate because no two riders treat their chains the same.
