Hi all,

Quick question - I need to replace my chain and sprockets soon, can the master link rivet heads be ground off with a dremel and grinding bit rather than using an angle grinder (me grinder is elsewhere and can't get it back at the moment for obvious reasons)?

Thanks,

J.

Yep, I used the dremmel cutting disk on the last one I did, broke a couple of the disks though as they're pretty thin if you get the angle wrong so wear goggles.
