Josh P asked:
the derailer (sp?) on my mnt bike broke and its my only form of transportation, so i was wondering if there was a way i could make it a single speed without having to buy a bike chain tool?
can you break a bike chain with out the bike chain tool?
just get the rivet tool, its worth the 2 dollars, plus you save the hassle and you bike from scratching by trying to force it off
Respectfully, buy a chain tool.
I carry the Park CT-5 Mini Brute. See first URL below.
Also available from Licktons is a master link.
I equip all my bikes with a master link. So easy to take apart and it allows for much easier chain maintenance.

I truly do not know how to take apart a chain and re-assemble without a chain tool. Take apart, yes, put back together, no.
Sorry can’t be of more assistance.
yep. ride a s#*t-mano chain. they always break eventually.
