Attacked by a tree? Jumped by a rock? Or is that poor bike chain just rusted and sad? There are plenty of ways a bike chain can jump off the pulley and keep you from using your bike, but it's pretty easy to put it back on if you don't mind a little oil on your hands. Here are some steps to give your bike a new ride.

on 6/30/2006 My first time I was trying to connect a chain I was trying to connect two outer links together. I couldn't figure out why the link was so tight and would not loosen. Make sure you are connecting an outer link pair to an inner link pair.

on 4/12/2008 I've been taught to remove a pin from the chain only 99% of the way and leaving it attached to the last 1% of the chain (leaving enough room to separate the links but not letting it fall free of the chain), because if you push the pin all the way out, it's extremely hard to get back in.
