Re: Can't finish drivetrain?
On team 2879 putting the chains on is an event in itself...

We are obsessed with perfectly tight chains, and will struggle for hours to achieve that perfection...

One of the methods we use, aside from loosening the gearbox mounting bolts, is to use 2 small (but strong) screwdrivers to pull the 2 ends of the chain together the last little bit, and have a seconds person quickly insert the connector link thingy.
