How To Repair A Broken Chain – What To Do When Your Chain Snaps
A snapped chain shouldn’t mean the end of your ride. This video has three ways to fix your chain and get back on the trails.

It’s good to be prepared. Make sure that you can fix your chain on a ride by taking a multitool with a chain tool and either a powerlink or a Shimano chain joining pin with you on every ride. There is another way to hack your chain and get home, but the first two methods are far easier.

Brilliant video. I love this channel 👍😁
Random question: is that an 11 or 10 speed chain you are fixing? Reason for asking is that I bought one of those multi-tools recently, but didn't realise it is only compatible with 8/9/10 speed chains while I run an 11 speed chain – wondering if it will still work?
why would manufacturers produce chains that can be snapped by human muscles? so ridiculous. this is not a motorcycle chain ffs, it's just a bike.
If you just put back that pin, will it be strong enough, or you should buy a new chain as soon as it is convenient?
I have to make some similar repair on my chain. Only difference that I have some spare links I can put in place of the damaged one.
I didn't have bike tool in my country Qatar does other tools work
Nice guide.
The chain is threaded wrong on the rear derailleur. It should go behind the notch.
Instructions were unclear. I got my dick stuck in a toaster.
Question:
1. When rejoining chain (standard chain link) is it safe? because is the most common option I know and you just can't buy Shimano PINS easily especially in my area.
2. Can you install two or more POWER LINK (Missing Link)?
BTW very practical tips simply the best especially on actual situations.
What frame do you use?
Is the chain effectively weakened if you use the method that reuses the pin?
wasnt that a single speed power link, after looking at many a powerlink today it seems that a single speed is straight and a multi speed curved?
WIsh i seen this a few weaks ago… lol i pushed the pin the whole way out. I managed ot get it in by wedging it in and pressing it back in with my knife. took about 30 minutes hahaha
what multi tool is that?
Simon is the best presenter.
with a single ring its handy to put the chain down on the bb shell when working on it… takes all the tension out of the chain, then just pop it back on when you're done!
Love it
what rear hub is that laced to the enve?
I have all the tools on my pocket but my luck never used chain tool !!! I use to replace chain each 1000 km …. maybe the reason ….
Where is the chicken run video? Also I recently watched a bike wash video by Marc but can't see it anymore
+Global Mountain Bike Network I dunno how it is for other company's but for Shimano newer XT and XTR stuff you really need to check the rotation direction. Sure it will do the job if you get it wrong on the bike but not so good (gears can jump and make a lot of noise) and even if you chain is full functional it can damage all your chain rings.
Thanks for the great vids, I watch and re-watch ever day! Would you consider doing a video on trail side rear derailleur hanger fix should it get smashed off a rock? Thanks!
You forgot how to solve a stiff link, simply hold the links either side of the stiff one with your hand and wiggle them back and forth inward and outward in different directions until it moves freely :)
Best to turn in the L-limit screw on rear mech a bit if chain wont make it to to largest cog(s), to lock them out. Prevents that "Oh Shit" moment we all love so much. I always have 5-6 links of new chain, KMC quick link, and Shimano pins in pack along with multi-tool-of course. Actually, I stopped carrying the pins cause they just weigh to darn much and I can't get up any hills with them in my pack. 😉 ｗｗｗ.ｐｉｎｋｂｉｋｅ.ｃｏｍ/ｕ/ｗｒａｔｈｏｆｋｈａｎ/
last week my chain broke twice. TWICE!!! once on Friday and once on Saturday. Saturday I was not able to fix it anymore. On Sunday I went to church.
I always have two KMC quick link on me they saved me (and my riding buddies) couple of times. Of course I learned it on the hard way when I had to walk back home with a broken chain…
Just a reminder if you need to shorten your chain with FS bikes you will have even less usable gears because of the chain growth when the rear compresses.
I know you guys are mainly focussing on riding skills and maintanance in your how to 's. But did you ever consider doing some on trail buildin?. Now it's nice and good if you have a trail to ride on but it's also very important to build them in the first place. So i'd appreciate if you guys maby consider giving us a little bit of content on this issue as well.
Si: "when you push the pin all the way out, there is no way on earth that you can rejoin it.."
Really?
When I fixed my first broken chain on the trail, I did exactly that (had not a single clue what I was doing.. :D), but after some minutes I got it to work perfectly.
Must have been some kind of beginner's luck :D
Last year I did it with two stones…
Where did you buy that multitool?
you routed the chain through the Rear derailleur wrong! I can't watch! Its bike torture!
