Derailleur Pulleys
I just bought a brand new bike, and the chain has a stiff link, how do I fix this? Is it a defective chain?
The bike shop is 25 miles away, so if there is an easy fix, I'd like to not take the bike back.
Whenever the chain goes around the rear derailleur, it bends in one way going around the first pulley, and gets stuck, and when it goes around the 2nd pulley, it makes a noise as it "snaps" out of its stuck position.
to loosen the link, gently bend where the link is located at. Instead of bending the way it naturally would bend, bend with the pins facing towards you. Flex it enough to loosen the pins in the link. Good luck.
