Featured How Do My Chain Rivets Look?

Look fine to me...dont forget that the force on a chain is not lateral its all longitudinal so the rivets themselves only have to cope with minimal force that's why you can use river clips.

 

I had the same with mine, hopefully all will be ok once I get her out!

 

The more important bit is the clearance between sideplates and does the link move freely...
Splaying the rivets is obviously important but not that difficult to do as long as you don't overdo it and tighten the clearance up on the side plates.
I do mine with a Whale chain tool using a 5lb club hammer for finesse, as long as it's peened over it'll be fine

 

This is the Whale tool

Being a percussive tool, it's very satisfying to use
And also very difficult to break....

 

I used to be splitting my chain most weekends when racing to change gearing, essentially as long as the link moves freely and the rivet is peened, it'll be good - 600hp tends to show up any weak links

I like how one post links to another - i will get my coat...

 

It’s all a chain reaction

Apparently, Triumph are bringing out the Sprocket 3

 

you need to measure both with a caliper to make sure both the same and not over tightened
