Adding one chain link roller?

[Guest]

Do you know where I can find one roller link? 530 DID O-ring.

When I built this bike I had to guess on how many links I needed to buy. However many I decided on, I could have used one more for a rear 47 tooth, but I also had a 43 tooth so I just used that. Now that I want to go back to the track, I think the 47 will work better. Do I have to buy a whole new chain to get one more roller/link? I can find plenty of master links (online), just no rollers.

Thanks gents.
Kevin.

drop a tooth in the front then you'll have enough chain.

I know I have EK/RK but I'll have to look around the shop for a DID type

That would be sweet if you had some. I'll trade you postage+beer$ for your troubles.

I have about 7 different chain ends/rems from other bikes, just not any DID 530 O-ring.

get a 46T rear sprocket, cheaper than buying a new chain

Just buy another press on master link.

Which link will be weakest then
the angst would be unbearable

Come on guys. He can't just use another master link because he's adding a link which means you actually need an extra master link as well as the in between link, the one with the inner plates. You're actually adding 2 links. If you drop a tooth on the front as mentioned and also drop a couple or three on the back your gearing should be close to where you want it and probably not cost much more than a couple of master links assuming of course you have an assortment of rear sprockets.
