Is it possible to lenghthen my SRAM PC-69 chain (brand new) with links from a different model SRAM 9-speed chain? My local shop has extra SRAM links they are willing to give me, and I would rather use those than have to buy another new chain. I just want to know if there are any compatibility issues. Thanks.

New cassette... new chain. I ain't just telling stories.

A PC66 is only $20.00.

dude, i believe you, but the cassette and chain are both brand new. i was just stupid and shortened the chain too much and lost the extra links. any ideas?

Don't trust him, SM is part of an international bicycle chain cartel, he is only trying to reap the profits of premature chain replacement by spreading a campaign of propaganda!

I say give it a try then... if the links look incompatible they probably are. The major differences are going to be the material anyhow... nickle plating and so on.

Don't listen to pirates - they only ride around on deck.

I have done this a few times before and chains with links from as many as 3 different chains have been ok. As long as the width is the same they will work.
