Evening
I bought a singlespeed conversion kit to do my bike up,but I don't have a singlespeed missing link for the chain.
However I have a 9 speed chain and link.
Can I use this on the singlespeed chainrings and sprocket,or will it mess chain/sprockets up?

Ta

Even if you're not gnar you might snap it.

I know a 63 year old who snapped his 9 speed chain on a SS conversion.

He was using a 22t rear as well, but his name is piston legs (albeit self titled)

Hmm in that case I'll see if I can pick up a link tomorrow then.

Just for joining the chain? Use a chain breaker(/joiner).
