Hello wonderful friends,
I recently obtained a PC-59 (?) chain with a "quick link" (or whatever it's called) . . . I was thinking, wouldn't it be super-easy & convienient to just un-link the chain, put it in a jar of degreaser & swish it around to get it clean.
(BTW - I buy Simple Green at Home Depot - $6/gallon)
My question: is this going to damage the quick link by taking it apart & putting it back together on a frequent basis?
I'd guess a new quick link (?) would be fairly inexpensive - like it'd be a good idea to have a couple in stock for those just in case situations. Will an 8-speed quick link work with a 9-speed chain? (I have a new, unopened SRAM 8 speed chain in the basement)
Thanks,
OD
