Shimano chain link direction
I just fitted a used mid compact Shimano 11 speed crank to my bike, and fitted the appropriate 11 speed chain to match the crank. In my rush to get it fitted I wasn't paying attention, and fitted the link pin at the trailing edge instead of the leading edge in the direction of rotation of the chain.
I've replaced chains before (at least a dozen times) and don't recall if I ever fitted it in the "proper" lead position. Never had any chain issues from any chain that I've fitted before. Pin replacement instructions on the web only make mention of it half the time (trying to convince myself that it's not much of an issue). Go fix, or go ride ?

Shimano chain
Appears I've got it fitted correctly.......I've got the chain markings facing outward, and the link pin located as described in the Shimano illustration. Thanks Potato Man.......
What concerned me was that I read that the connecting pin should be in the lead position based on the direction of travel. As fitted, it appears that the pin is trailing based on the direction of travel.
