Does this chain come with a master link? Do I need to buy a tool to install it on a bike with derailleur? Which tool is recommended for this chain?

Hi,Most new chains are designed with master locks (links). It is easy to install in this way without any tool but you need to remove old chain. You have two ways to do it: 1) Just cut it out; and 2) remove old chain using Topeak Super Bicycle Chain Tool ($14.00)or similar one. You can find out how to use it thru Youtube videos. Best,

It's been awhile since i bought this so let me try to remember. I am almost 95% sure that there was indeed a master link. There was no special tools that i needed to install except if you need to shorten the length of the chain. I had to remove 3 or 4 links to match the previous length of the factory chain. I installed this on my Diamondback Sorrento mountain bike, and that had a derailleur. Like i said, the only tool i needed to install was a tool like this: TOOGOO Bicycle Chain Breaker Spliter Chain Tool Repairing Hope this helps!

Mr. A,Unfortunately i do not have any experience with anything other than quick release on this machine (and on any of my bikes..U lock through rear wheel/frame).It does come with a quick release skewer which should take a minute or two to install.Sorry i can't be more help.

Agree with Jeff, The derrailleur / shifter cable was included but no brake cable or housings. New product packaging may have changed since then as it 's been awhile. I 'd plan on having the brake pieces available if your doing the installation yourself. If not, Your local bike shop will sort it out for you. Hope that helps. Mike

Yes, Very easy to install. Didnt need large sprocket, one on bike has same teeth count. just move over. Chain is a little short but can move wheels forward a little to make it fit. It took me about 2 hrs get it working.

Yes...this will work with your cassette. Depending on what crankset you are replacing you may need to purchase a new chain. If you are comfortable sizing it yourself ... visit youtube for a tutorial...otherwise have you LBS size and "break" your chain for you. SRAM makes a great chain for about $13 with a master link. Make sure to get a chain with a "master" link.

Not any derailleur. on my bike, there are almost no space left between derailleur gear and the biggest gear. You will just have to estimate will there be enough space left if your your last gear grow up to 34 tooth

Mine came with the mounting bracket with spacers for different diameter frames. Yes you have to take apart the chain to get the old one off and new one on. It sound like it just needs to be adjusted to go out further or the deraileur is mounted to low. I hope I was able to help.

There is no standard chain length. It depends upon several factors, including chainstay length, derailleur length/size, large chainring size and the size of the largest rear cog/gear. You'll need a chain breaker tool to remove any extra chain links, and to put the chain back together correctly. Be sure to check the re-connected chain links for free movement and slightly loosen the reconnected link if it's too tight (or it will cause problems - which will become apparent).

It comes with the trigger set only, with the cable already threaded. As the other used responded, there is plenty of videos on Youtube that can demonstrate how to properly adjust derailleurs once the cable has been mounted.

That is exactly what I used it for. I broke the old p.o.s. 520 chain and installed my shiny new DID 530 chain on my old Suzuki Katana. As long as you don't apply ogre force to the riveting part and break the pin like other people have. I actually had a spare master link and riveted that 1st to make sure I got it right, then I installed the chain and its master link without a hitch. That was 2k miles ago. Good luck and ride safe!

It depends on your chain, the brand and and how old that 7 speed cassette is. The width of chains have changed over time and just installing new gears can be problematic as a consequence of both the change in chain link sizes as well as the consequent changes in derailleurs. Hard to say. It will probably work in a pinch but the only way to be sure that your entire drivetrain works in harmony, you kinda need a complete set (cassette, chain, chainrings and sometimes even derailleurs and shifters if you're changing component generations).

Mine didn't come connected. It was just a long chain, But I used the connector link thing it came with to connect both ends and put it on the bike.

It comes in a straight length with a master link to connect the ends. You will need a chain breaker to size the chain to your drivetrain.

if your bike frame have it no issues, if not you must use a derailleur adapter. It works fine with a 44t chainring.

Well...assuming you can get it off, yes. Some KMC chains come with the wrong link, which will snap on, but does not come off. be sure this is the correct link for your specific chain, otherwise you're going to need a chain breaker and some extra pins! My last KMC master link failed on me and cost me about 15 bucks just to get the chain put back together properly...

You just have to put on the coupler attachment on your bicycle' s back wheel. The trailer comes with one so all you need is a socket wrench fitted to the size of your bicycle's rear tire bolt.

Well, I bought two sizes, one with a 7.1 mm pin for 7-8 speed chains and one with a 7.3 mm pin for 6 speed chains. You have to know the pin size of your chain and buy the missing link for that size pin. Good luck,
