Friday, May 17 2024 -- Manhattan Beach Pier

Chain Replacement
 |
| The chain is very dirty (the picture shows the quick-link). Ran out of the dry chain lube so had switched to a wet lube a few months ago. The wet lube tends to hold onto dirt (like a glue), whereas the dry lube tended not to, so the chain stayed cleaner. The dry lube requires more frequent application whereas the wet lube requires more frequent chain cleaning. |
 |
| New chain on the left (Shimano Dura-Ace chain) |
 |
| "Missing Link" used to connect the chain (much easier than installing the pin that comes with the chain) |
 |
| Had to remove the outer link to use the quick-connect link |
 |
| Used the small chain link remover. |
 |
| After installation of the quick-link (missing-link) |
 |
| Chain fits properly to the chainring gear. |
