Missing chain roller

I just inspected my "new improved" 415 chain and darn, I found a roller is missing from a link but the inner sleeve or bushing is still intact, is this bad for the sprockets 'cause I really dont wanna buy another chain but if I have to I will go through the trouble of replacing the link.. Thanks, Ed

I would definitely replace the one link.

repair the chain . with a new link , after all that is why you inspected it in the first place . The sprokets gods will be pleased .

That is just exactly why I don't use the #415 (Kit Chain) and always replace it with #41 chain. I have 6 of the new #415 chains if anyone wants them. Only thing is the shipping would cost more than they are worth.

I was fearing that oh well I will have to ride it w/o the roller until I get to work which is 40 miles away and replace the link there.. hopefully it wont do too much damage for that distance. Has anyone ridden without a roller?

Dibs!!!!

Hmmm... no PM. I'm guessing Retmachinist has decided the stock chain ain't that bad after all.
