Evening folks. We've got a decent but large sized chain splitter but I used to have a smaller bum-bag sized one with a 10mm bolt which is machined at the end for the chain pins and the overall size was less than a matchbox, anyone know where I can get another one from?

Searched everywhere but no luck so far.

Thanks Eiger

try hallfords they seem to have a good range of tools/you might hit lucky.if not try off road mountain bike dealears on web seem to have a larger selection of tools ie compact for ya bum bag.good luck

Bicycle ones are no use whatsoever, a trials chain is the wrong pitch to grip in a cycle tool, the pins are too stiff to move with a cycle tool. If anyone has positive experience with one which type, I've gone through about half a dozen of the damn things

I know mean, if it is the same as mine it is a machined block of steel with a cut out for the chain to sit in, the pin is pushed out by a bolt. You used to get them from www.dirtbikestore.co.uk but they don't seem to sell them now. If it was for a specific trial (i.e SSDT) I'd be happy to lend you mine, or even if you knew a steel workers etc you could get it copied?

try www.thefastone.co.uk and follow chains and sprockets.

I would post a link but I'm totally incapabable!

here we go!

Thanks folks, had a look at that site but still don't show the one I had which was machined from a small block of steel and had a hardened steel machined bolt which pushed the pin out. Cheers for the offer Boofont but a mate (locally known as leafy!!) has one which used to be mine a while back so I can get that copied. Cracking bit of kit and better than lugging a full size splitter round with you.

Eiger,

I think I know exactly the one you mean. It was a small machined cube with a strong short bolt with the end machined narrow and was small enough that you could mount it on the clutch cable if you wanted to. I looked all over the Internet and didn't find one so I imagine that having one machined is the best bet. Handy little boogers they were, and I bet I've got one (or two) somewhere in my old gear.

Good luck.

I'm like Jon, had one many years ago, someone probably borrowed it! Along with the cable oiler(thankfully i don't need that)!

The push pin has to be very hard tool steel and the body must be hard as well!
