How to use the squeeze for the chain.
This is a squeeze for a bicycle chain. This is how it looks. This is a squeeze from a cheap series.
There are pomace of various types and forms. For example, such.
How does this squeeze for the chain.
On the one hand there is an adjustable limiter.
On the other hand there is a movable pin, with which the pin is squeezed out of the chain link.
The pin is on the drive screw. By rotating the spindle, the pin is moved forward or backward.
Adjustable limiter. On this model of squeeze for a chain, it is springloaded. It's good.
Inside this pin there is a spring that supports the platform against which the pin squeezed out of the chain rests.
Such a device limiter creates certain amenities when working with squeeze.
Here is a chain, by the example of which I will show how I use this squeeze.
On the squeeze there are two places where you can install a chain link. One is in the center, the other is closer to the reference site. To squeeze the pin from the chain link, I install the chain link in the lower position. The pin on the drive screw should fall exactly in the center of the squeezed pin.
Now, I start to turn the spindle clockwise and the pin gradually starts squeezing the pin from the link. It is not necessary to squeeze the pin completely. He should stay on the last link. Determine the moment when the pin remained on the last link can be on the socalled specific click. When this click occurs, you need to unscrew the lead screw and check if this is really the case.
If the limiter interferes with pulling a chain link with a squeezed pin out of the squeeze, it should be slightly unscrewed.
I check. The chain was disconnected, and the pin remained stuck in the last link.
It happens that the pin is completely squeezed out of the link. In this case, the pin must be baited back to the last link. This is done with a hammer. The links are connected, stacked on a hard surface and with a hammer blow the pin is baited on the last link.
How to assemble a chain using husks.
Link chain links. I set to squeeze, only now it's the other side. Squeezed pin should look towards the pin on the drive screw. I also install links to the lower place.
The release pin must be directed exactly to the pin center. Now you can turn the driving bolt and press the pin into place. You need to ensure that the pin does not move from the center of the pin. If he slipped or fell off, then you should let him go and fix it. Pin need to press on all four links.
Approximately pressed. I disassemble and see what happened. On the last link, something went wrong. Pin didn’t pull in, and the link twisted. I will level it with a hammer.
The link has leveled off and the pin has become profitable for this link. Pinch up with a squeeze.
Here is the assembled link. We need to check how it works. It must move freely and it moves freely. So the pin is set in place correctly.
In the event that the link moves poorly, it means that the pin was either insufficient or it was pinched. To correct this blemish, you can use both the bottom and the central place under the squeeze chain. I visually determine which way I need to move the pin, set the link to the central place on the squeeze and lightly press the pin so that it fits into place.
After that, I check the link for performance. The link should move freely.
So, using the squeeze for the chain, you can disconnect and reconnect the bicycle chain.
