How do you reconnect a bike chain without the tool?
Connect the main or master link on the top side of the drivetrain while the chain is sitting on the chainrings as well as the cassette. Put the master link in place and connect it completely. Hold the brakes and step on the pedal until the tension created snaps the master link in place.
Can I reuse a bike chain pin?
It is not advisable to reuse a previously pushed out link pin to rejoin the chain. The chain will quickly come apart at that junction when riding.
How do you put a bike chain back on a no derailleur?

(This side should be facing down since the bike is upside down.) Keeping one hand on the chain to guide it, slowly start pedaling the bike.
Are all bike chain pins the same size?
All modern bicycle chains are made to the “one-half inch pitch” standard, meaning from rivet to rivet is nominally 0.5 inches. The sprocket teeth are cut for this same one-half inch standard to accept bicycle chains. However, this does not mean all makes and models of chains are interchangeable.
How many times can you reuse a missing link?
Non Re-useable MissingLinks have a latch design, which can only be used once. Re-usable MissingLinks have no latch design, which could be used 3 to 5 times. Press both halves of the MissingLink connector together.
What is faster 9 speed or 11 speed?
A 9 speed cassette has larger steps between gears than an 11 speed, which means that you may need to pedal at a faster or slower cadence to maintain your speed or pedal a bit harder or softer to maintain your cadence than you would with an 11 speed cassette.
