shortening endless style chains
I've heard of some guys that shorten the stock 525 f4i chain by grinding off the rivets to remove links and reconnecting it together with the appropriate master link.

Bad news or not?????

Re: shortening endless style chains
why the **** would you shorten it.. you can go -1 +2 and keep the stock length. but yeah just buy a 525 master link.
