Chain, Trouble Fitting.

Not always ....... this was a freebie a few years Carole Nash did Just for getting a quote.
Not the best quality sadly I had high expectations of it. Glad it was a freebie at the end of the day ......
Good for a freebie but I would be disappointed if I had paid for it. Sadly Oxford aren’t as good as they used to be.

Should have said these have never been used yet, just placed into the top box when on long journeys along with a few extras from my tools. The extras go in a separate bag.
Al I do is add my 1/4 inch socket wrench as it’s better than what’s in the tool kit.
So only put in a nice dry top box and already signs of rust on it.

 

This is mine, nothing special but does the job

 

Hi Rocker, I've got the same kit, it works like a charm for me as well.

 

as another member said that link is not spread enough,its not the thin pin in riveter that flattens the 2 pins i wouldn't use chain as shown in pic safety issue major damage if it comes off/apart,i torqued mine up 3 times with tool just to be sure never take slightest chance with drivechains.

 

I don't think he knew what the fuck he was doing look at this;

fast forward to about 42 mins and watch from there

 

That’s about the most it’s worth but should be a tenner really. Poor finish and definately poor rust proofing. Really disappointed with mine as I said earlier had expected better from Oxford

 

I Use the motion pro heavy duty. I've done about four or give chains now. With this type of link (not a great fan ) you have to use a vernier caliper if you want to have total confidance .You measure the un riveted dimension and then again after. Don't overdo it ,all it has to do is stop the link sliding off. Too tight is really bad. Looking at the picture of the flared pin , are you sure you had it assembled correctly ? A pin like that would always be supported by a sleeve. My riveter has a ball bearing in the end of a pin for this type of rivet and a quad stakeing tool for the conventional type.

 

Glad you're sorted mate

 

Yeah mate just seen your other post

 

and into the fire I reckon with that fork leg
