Anyone in the Austin area have one? That is $85 I'd like to save after $175 for chain and sprockets.

No one??? You guys are gonna make me buy one aren't you? I'm a founding member of the cheap *******s club and can't justify the expense as I hope to have a shaft drive next time around. I guess Johnny Cheese is gonna get some money from me after all.

I don't have one but I usually just cut through the old chain with a hacksaw and then use a hammer and some metal bolts to put the new chain on (instead of a riveter). The second part is a little harder due to the hardened metal rivets. However, it can be done and I've never had any problems with my chains.

For the Austin area folks:
My membership to the CBC has lapsed. I am now the proud owner of a chain breaker/riveter. Shop rates and a three day wait to have AF1 do this forced me to buy it. Tools are always a good investment. Come by if you need to use it.

I have one...
..I have one, but it was really cheap-I think I paid less than $20 for it. I've used it for years. I used to carry it on trips as it is just slightly larger than a deck of cards.

I ran chains with a master link on my Bandit 1200. Never lost one.
I've been using masterlinked chains for years. Never lost one.
Charter members of the C.B.C. must use the hacksaw/grinder - masterlink method of chain fastening or risk being expelled from the club.
