Shimano Bicycle Chains
My Dawes Super Galaxy 2004 uses nine speed Shimano chains, which are
difficult to break, but not if you are me! I wasn't aware before I
started my cycling trip to South Africa that Shimano chains use a
special pin when they are either repaired or replaced. My first repair
with a normal pin snapped within 200 metres, so don't try that one at
home kids! If you are going on an extended cycling trip, I suggest
taking up to a dozen of these special connecting pins, and also two
spare chains. I take with me a spare Shimano chain, and also a local
chain, which can be fitted quickly and easily by either myself or a
local bicycle mechanic.
