Ok, so my chain snapped during some sweet trail riding. Never been on the trail at all, and was totally bummed out because I had to coast on the downhills...and hike it through the flat and uphill sections.
Sooo...the chain seems to have come apart. The rivet is still there, and the outer link of the other end is bent...so it must have just snapped off.
Since I have never fixed a chain myself.....what do you suggest I do. I want to learn how to fix this dilemma so I do not have to bother my LBS about stuff like this. I want to hit the trails as soon as possible...so I guess I should just go to my LBS and have them install a powerlink? That way I can take it off myself when I want to fix it.
Will the bikeshop even install an SRAM powerlink on my chain? I just want to get back on the trail as soon as possible.
Sorry for the nooblet question. Thanx doods
