I'm just changing my first chain. It's a shimano 9 speed sora - counted links and seems to be the correct length. The problem I'm having is in getting the pin back in. Obv using a chain splitting tool, when you split the chain, there's a distinct 'click' feel as the pin is pushed out of the link but on the way back in this doesn't seem to be the case, thought I hadn't pushed it far enough but it seemed to be protruding further out of the opposite side so pushed it back in from that side.
It looks ok but this link is stiffer than the rest, I have pushed back and forwards a few times and have got it as free as possible but I'm not sure if this is normal? Am I missing something?
