New chain, stiff link problem

[Jamieg285]

Well, it looks like the chain is the problem, not the soft links.  Not having done this before, I didn't know that the soft link should slide onto the chain with relative ease, whereas I was having to squeeze them in with pliers.  I'm going to pull the soft link out again and check the inner links for any damage (maybe try to return the  chain?).


Anyway, does anyone know of anywhere in the UK that will supply short lengths of DID change, say 3 links? That way I can cut out the dodgy links and put a short piece in to replace them.
