Hi all, newbie here.
I've recently started riding an old mountain bike I was given by my dad. I used to do alot of maintenance on BMX's when I was younger, but having a few problems with this bike. There is a stiff link on the chain, I was gonna just replace it cos i think it's quite old, but on the old BMX's there was a link/clip setup that just had to be prized off to take the chain apart. I've had a look and can't see anything similar on this, do I need to get a chain tool for modern chains?
cheers
