Hey all, I've had my bike apart since Mothers Day weekend trying to get my sprockets & chain replaced, oil changed, and a light tune up. Its been one things after another, whether waiting on parts, finding time, weather, or whatever it may be that has kept me from being able to finish what is supposed to be a simple project.

Now I'm ready to wrap it up, but I'm in need of a chain riveting tool so I can "mushroom" the heads of the masterlink on the new chain. I've called around and nobody has one, but everyone can order one. I simply need it this once as I dont expect to be using a tool like that very often.

So my question is does anyone on here in the Portland area have one of these tools I could borrow for an afternoon? OR know where I could find one to rent??? I tried "jimmy rigging" it by taking the hex-tip of a small screw driver bit set and a C clamp to press it in and "mushroom" it that way, and it kind of worked, but I just dont trust it.

Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks

good place to look and you'll find many good people who are willing to loan you one

I've mushroomed the lock with two hammers/Mallets whatever. Done a few trackdays, still alive. Just throwing out as an option. Your choice. Good luck!!

Yeah for that price, I can go for that. I ordered one last night $23 after shipping. Hopefully it'll be here quickly and I can finalize this project! Thanks for the input!
