Another vote for the Park MLP-1 master link pliers. About $15, and
worth it if you like to remove your chain for regular cleaning.
Traditional chain tools are sort of regarded as a liability by the
chain industry now, and use of a chain tool to remove and replace
chain pins voids most chain warran

I find that a Channel Lock plier opens up a SRAM link easily.

These are helpful suggestions, worth trying. What I usually do is put
as much slack in the chain as i can, then turn the master link
vertically, but I'm never able to squeeze the link and slide it open
at the same time. The wipperman link is kind of heart shaped - the
center of the link has a ri

They have perhaps seen miles on them, so as new. The tread looks much like
that of the old City Slickers I used to use; but, note, these are Kendas,
507 bsd, and 50 mm wide.
Let's say $15 plus shipping, CONUS only.
Trade offers welcome; how about some 700c X 28 or 700c X 50+ tubes.

That's odd; I never, ever have problems with Sram links unless the chain has
a lot of grit on it (mine don't, since I wax them).
You are meant to squeeze the plates together while pushing together, so that
the pins slide out of the slots.

Well, after having broken many chains over many years with many different
kinds of chain tools (my first one: a large nut -- the kind that goes on a

that they are simpler, faster, easier, as long as grit isn't blocking the

Hi Garth-
You are correct. It is a 110 bcd 34T that came stock on my Ritchey 110 compact

I think it depends on your riding preference. The 59cm might be right
for you if you prefer a more upright position whereas the 57cm frame
might be better if you ride in a more aerodynamic crouch...your age
may be a factor too. I'd discuss this again with Riv before making a
