OK...If you give up, Here's what's wrong. Take a look just to the right of the two ends of the chain (see the Power Link?) Here's what's going on. I was doing a frame up build for a client that had his prior bike disassembled for a frame warranty replacement. When I was at the point where I was going to install the chain, I found that the shop who did the tear down didn't realize that it was a SRAM PC chain (not that there's a logo stamped on every outer plate...) and instead of taking the chain apart using the Power Link, they just pushed a pin out with a chain tool. I don't want to mention the shop name, but I can say that this happened at a certain self proclaimed authority.... Maybe someone can explain the reason for doing this because I can't....
