i fitted a new SRAM PC951 Chain on my GT Avalanche tonight. The bike has only done 40 miles, but I am paranoid about the chain snapping as I am a big guy and wanted to fit a strong chain. The bike originally had a kMc HC-53 and has Shimano hg30 Cassette and An FSA dynadrive Chainset.
The New chain is so noisy, it sounds like its almost grinding, like a chump I also split the old chain 1 link behind the quicklink, as I couldnt figure out how do remove it until I got it off the bike. . . .
so my Qs are, why is the new chain so noisy and will it be OK to fit the old chain back on with a link missing?
arrrggghhhhh! :roll:

My biggest fear is that should I crash, burn and die, my Wife would sell my stuff based upon what I told her I paid for it.
