Not sure how many here have yet joined an 11 speed DA chain, but I'm having a bit of nightmare with broken pins.

I've broken 3 joining pins so far, no matter how carefully I do it. Never had a problem in the past.

You only get 2 per chain, so I now have a spare chain with no more pins!

You can just about get round it by carefully lining up the good part of the broken rivet, it can be squeezed into the link with mole grips or similar - a small press would be ideal. You can then line it up perfectly with the chain tool.

And if anyone is more skilled than me and has a spare connecting link having successfully installed theirs 1st time, can I buy it off you please?!
