Shimano pin in KMC chain?
I've browsed around, but found mostly opinions. Has anybody actually tried it?
I needed to add a few links to a KMC DLC chain and I used a new Shimano connecting pin. It went in like it should and the length looked good. The link was stiff at first, but after working the links back and forth it loosened up. Thanks! |

why not just use a quick link?

Yup, that's a great idea. Chances are you'll die from ebola before you bust your nuts on the stem and crack your teeth, anyway.

I didn't have one...but I did have a couple of the Shimano pins in my toolbox.

I can probably put a Honda piston in a Chevy - I have a few in my parts box. I may need to use a hammer to make the rod fit on the shaft 'cause they're not really the same, and the piston will wobble around a bit, and probably become good friends with the spark plug, but they both use 4 cylinders...
That's a long and sarcastic way of saying no. There are so few standards in the bike industry, chain pins aren't on that list.

Since the chain is NOT designed to have a pin shoved thru it's outer plates, I think it's a "bad idea"...why not use a snap link, ya know, like a KMC one? I know it's silver and all but get a sharpie.

FWIW (and only marginally related to the original post)
SRAM 9-spd quick-link works perfectly in a Shimano 9-spd chain. I've been doing it for years and years. No problems at all. |

Everyone know that the OP already used the pin....right? See the first post.
I love this thread. I should start one.... I just bought a gas barbecue and poured lighter fluid to get the flames started. The lighter fluid came out of the bottle pretty well and splashed all over the inside of the barbecue. Looks fine to me. Has anyone tried this? http://www.darwinawards.com/
