Chain problem

Why do you think there are pins missing? Those recesses in the chainring are normal.

Never really noticed how the silver bits where lines up so didn’t now if any damage had been done as for replacing link I would rather change the whole chain not a massive expense may keep the old in as a spare for emergencies I will c if I can get one tomorrow and put it on and see how she goes

How worn is the chain? You might need a new cassette too so to avoid chewing up the new chain

Cassette was new at Christmas not done a huge amount of miles on it. Crankset and front mec also new at Christmas

Why didn't you change the chain at the same time as the cassette? Seems a false economy when you're putting all the expensive bits on new, chains are cheap in comparison but can mash the other parts if worn
