Recommended chain rivetter

(1/3) > >>

andy120t:
Hi, does anyone know / use a chain riveter they can recommend?.....at a reasonable price. So certainly sub £50.

Initially it's for the drive chain on a Kawasaki Zx6, so a fairly beefy chain. But I also want something that will last forever and for all bikes.

Wemoto tell me that they don't do a split link anymore which is a real pain.

Also, any other ways that you've all used to fit chain rivets would be interesting to hear.
Thanks!

They all break in the end, maybe it will last 10 times or 100.
Whale CBT480R pro is a very good make but, a rivet tool for 520,525, 530 and 532 comes in around £116 plus. You still will break the pins but, at least you can get spares for a Whale.
You pay for what you get and at over £100 you will have to do a lot of chains. I have had cheaper ones that you can pick up for under £20 that have lasted 10 rivets and I have had a Oxford one £50 that only lasted 17 rivets.

I buy cheap and either break the pins after a couple of chains or lose the tool forever.
I'm the same with impact drivers I'm beginning to think someone keeps helping there selves to tools in my garage as stuff just disappears.

Trigger:
Just had a look in my trade book and it is listing a ZX6 as a 520 which you can still get a spilt link for. Different ZX6 have different size chains so, it depends on what model yours is ?

Green1:
Would you trust a split link in a bike that big?
Saying that I did buy a bike and ride it 2 hours home to find the link wasn't clipped together properly.
