Jim, What chain tool would you recommend? I have one in my kit, though I had to think hard about whether I did or not, and just went and checked. It's something old from a multitool kit that I lost long ago. It relies on an allen wrench to do the pin pushing. My most common mistake is using locking skewers/bolts and forgetting to bring the necessary tool. David Chicago
