    Yea yea, I shoulda used diesel or kerosene but had none.

    My petrol is mixed with 2 stroke oil, so hopefully that's better than just petrol.

    Chur for the advice.

    If you get a cheap one, and it peens the rivet inadequately, the chain might let go and kill you. If you buy a chain riveting tool, get yourself a decent one. Of course, how often do you plan on using it? If you're a tool whore like me you'll buy it just cause, but realistically most people are on a budget and would be better off paying someone else a few bucks to do it whenever they need one done.

    for how often a chain breaker would be used, its probably hardly worth the expense, you current chain is poked anyway by the look of it. If you order a new chain, they can chop it to the correct length for you anyway, then you just fit with a link. You can also use a grinder and a hammer and punch to shorten it too, it isnt hard.

    If you wanna soend the coin though, knock yourself out!

    On the topic of chains -

    Any experience with SFR chains?

    Otherwise, I'm just going to go with bits4bikes RK chains. It's only like 30 bucks for a 428.
