Help with chain install

[SRTie4k]

Is there anyone around the Westminster, VT area that has a chain riveter that can help me install a new 530 O-Ring chain on my TLS? I also have new sprockets to install, but I can probably do that myself (unless you also have a huge impact socket).

Looking to get it done either Friday or this weekend. Let me know what you'd like for your time and tools - a 12-pack, $50 or whatever it may be.

I have you covered in Addison if you wanna ride down with it... Lots of nice routes.

Just to clarify...we are NE "Streetriders" which actually infers that we ride the streets. He's offering up free service and you get great ride to boot.

Slam does have a point. Plus, the amount of gas you would pay to get here would = the time and money you would pay a bike mechanic eh? Probably cheaper. Its a 2 1/2 hour ride. You can get 1 tank out of that lol. and thats what, 15-20 bucks? personally, spending 15-20 bucks on a new chain installation is a sweet deal!

Hey kitt, do you also do tires aswell?

If I remember correctly...indeed he does do tires. The chain installation rate is a sweet deal as well & the ride will be nice. Mmmm... I will need a new chain pretty soon & I need a pretense to visit the Kitt & another ride to Addison country.

I'm all for making that ride. Convincing the wife however...that could be challenging.

Riding that far is not a problem to me. Convincing the wife however...that could be challenging.

Tell her if she lets you, then you will take care of the kids for a day. If there are no kids, tell her you'll take her out. If you got not money to take her out, tell her you'll clean and stuff. If that doesnt work, Id say go with telling her that you'll give her a massage. BUT! thats in the worse case scenario spot.

Why do massages carry so much value in household barter? It works for me, as it's usually accompanied by some MX on tv and a happy ending

I think its not the whole massage itself, but the demand of the massage. After maybe 5 minutes -2 hours pass, your just hoping you dont do it again. Though they had a relaxing back/shoulder massage, your dealing with arthritis lol.
