Tools/spare parts?

[bart]

I've had a chain snap on a farm bike. Doing 'skids' and the chain snapped, wrapped around the gear lever, and cracked the engine case. Of course I was about 5 miles from home. Not a cheap exercise. Lucky it didn't hit my foot. I don't think red band gumboots would have saved me.

I'm probably a bit over cautious now.

I reckon a chain breaker is overkill on the trail if you check & maintain your chain occasionally. I've never had a chain fail on me. I can remove & reinstall a clip master link with a screwdriver, lil vicegrips & an M6 nut. With the mini file & hacksaw that I carry I could remove links if required. I do carry a spare master link.

Vice grips and 6mm nut is what I use also. Easy as.
