On my bicycle, I've got a chain link that was sticking so I attempted to wiggle it free but had no luck (I didn't want to break it either).
Today I cycled, although every five strokes the pedals slipped as the stuck link went through, and managed to get to one of the LBS'.
I asked if they would be able to take a look but they couldn't do it there and then so I had to leave my bike their and get transport home.
I forgot to get a receipt stupidly, but regardless here is my question:
They guy in the shop said,
- We shall try and pry the chain link loose
- If this fails, we shall have to replace the chain link
- If that fails we shall need to replace the chain and possible the "cogs"
I've asked them to phone me before they do any work on it, but surely all they need to do is loosen the link or something along those lines, and even if it did come to replacing the chain... why the "cogs"?
Thanks for any advice.
