Tsubaki alpha soft link

[Steve H]

Hi folks,
I'm looking to drop a tooth on my front sprocket, and need to remove a link from my chain.
I have a fairly new tsubaki alpha x ring chain, and can't find anywhere to buy a rivet link from.
If anyone has any info, i'd really appreciate it.
Thanks, Steve.

try your original supplier or M&P or ebay

Thanks,
Am i to understand from this that a new link doesn't necessarily have to be from the same manufacturer as the original chain ?

I wouldn't and this site which sells them also advises not to mix links with different chains - found using google and key words tsubaki rivet link

are you sure you need to remove a link?????
i went down to a 14 for a while and still used the standard length chain.
with a standard rear and a 15T front you dont need to shorten the chain

have a look at http://www.gearingcommander.com and it will give you the number of links for any sprocket combo

That what I was thinking. I wouldn't bother personally. The only advantage would be a tad more adjustment before it reaches the maximum wear marks.

Been thinking about this today, i don't want to make unnecessary work for myself.
i will try the sprocket on its own first.
Thanks for your input guys !
