Hi!
My BIL messaged me yesterday, saying that he could no longer tension his 84DL Stihl Carbide chain, since he'd run out of adjustment. He queried whether it was wise to take a link out of the chain to allow it to be used. Considering the cost of Carbide chain, I don't blame him. What is your take on shortening chains? Will the drive and nose sprockets be damaged? What is the best course of action? Please let me have your recommendations!
Thanks for your 2c !
