If you insist, put it under a hammer and a hard rock, focus on the rustest link, go crazy, it will break.

^^ Like drubie said. If I am not worried about reusing the chain. I will just mash it with a grinder, bolt cutters or a centre punch on one of the rivets. Or any combination of these. I have ruined what I thought were decent chain tools on long dead & rigor-mortified chains before..... but that's not to say you don't need one for cutting a new replacement chain.
Hit me up via the BNA dm; I'll get an alert. If y'know, you know.

The "repair was done by said redneck whittling down a piece of timber to act as a dowel, inserted into the cut ends of the former chainstay, which was then sealed (from memory) wrapped with duct tape.jasonc wrote:please tell me the "repair was done with gaffa tapeuncle arthur wrote:Don't joke - I've seen that for real in a redneck fixes bike vid on you tube - and it wasn't a cheap frame the redneck destroyed....... and then "repaired"LG wrote:A 'ghetto' method would probably be hacksaw through chainstay.
