Fitted new chain to recumbent. I was going to do it after servicing wheel hubs yesterday, but decided to quit whilst ahead. I have a 50m reel of 9 speed chain I bought in a sale. The recumbent chain is about 3m. I unreel thst amount and thread it big to big through all derailleurs and idlers. Then join the ends temporarily with a hooked bit of wire. The aim is to have the rear derailleur at 45 degrees in this setup. Then I can use my chain tool to pick the two inner plates I want to join with a quick link. Then remove hook and put force on chain to pull chain link into place. Went smoothly. Test ride after cup of tea, and then out for a longer ride.
