Hens teeth spring to mind. The G/F's DT spat the clip off its joining link on the chain & I'll be buggered if I can find a new link on line. 420 & 428 yes, but not 425. T'is an o-ring chain.
Can anybody point me to a supplier?

To fit properly it should match make and model, not just 425 size (I've only had to get 520,525 and 530 links in DID and EK brands but several different models of each brand) as they're all a bit different between brands and models. 425's I've never looked for or dealt with as nothing I use had that sizing.
Usually a shop that sold the chain can get links to match.
In Canterbury Pit Lane is good, I imagine Cycletreads elsewhere should be good too.... in the brands they carry.

Where did the chain come from? Perhaps you'll need to replace the set with common stuff?
Sorry may not have been worth the post, not much help but typed it now so good luck.

I appreciate it. My local bike mechanics can't find one & I checked cycle treads. No joy. Funnily enough the bike came from down south. Onwards & upwards. Be nice to spend $6.99 rather than $169.99. Rego due on the big bike too, neber rains but it pours.
