Hi all,

In the midst of my Rambouillet build: http://myrambouilletbuild.blogspot.com/

I was installing my new SRAM 9 speed chain, and miscalculated the
length...so my chain ended up a few links too short.  I managed to get
the old pin pushed back in, broke the chain to the right length and
continued installation.

Zinn's road bike maintenance manual does not recommend re-using chain
pins...especially with 9 or 10 speed chains or with any Shimano or
Campy chain.  I believe you can fix a Shimano chain if you buy the
special snap-off chain pins, but I'm not sure about SRAM.

I'm a little leary about riding this chain and believe I should bite
the bullet, chalk this one up to experience, and buy a new chain.
What's the group experience with re-using chain components?

Check out my blog, and my progress!

Thanks!
-Dwight
