Re: Dual CIMs and #25 Chain

I would recommend this tool:

This allows you to build chain without the master link, greatly strengthening the chain.

Also, with #25 you need to tension the chain. When the chain is loose, the whipping action when the chain is pulled tight greatly increases the load on the chain. You don't want the chain to suddenly accelerate and decelerate from it being loose.
