Bought this to carry around and it ended up replacing the big one in my toolbox as well.
Nice fine thread so it's easy to break the chain. You can also get replacement pins if you bend one - I haven't managed it.

Best thing to do is get some Sram Power links so you can get the chain on and off easily, and save the tool for when you have a disaster on trail.

Cheers for the information - much appreciated, I take it these are the power links you are referring to ?

Like I said ANY. Take your pick check that it will do you speed Cain and fits your budget.

But as far as a tech question goes. ANY.

If you want buying advise wrong section.

Yep but unless you're amerrrican they'll be a bit cheaper here. When you replace the chain get a KMC and it will come with one.

mattblue

No no...sorry im in south wales so would be buying from the UK

Sorry what is a KMC ?

Thanks

Type of chain, like Shimano or Sram. I think they are better and come with a masterlink, as do Sram.

mattblue

Ahh thanks for that...ill get there slowly im sure :-)

Thanks for your help
