This deforms the interior surface of the hole and places excessive residual stress on the hinged portions of the chain. As a result, cracks can develop in the hinges, leading to chain failure during use. Deformation The pin can be removed from only one direction. Knurling Inadvertently removing the pin from the wrong direction will seriously damage the chain hinge, creating further problems. In particular, under high-speed dry operation, the resistance that occurs when the chain flexes may cause the pin to rotate and become dislodged from the hinged portion of the link plate, leading to interference with the chain rail (wearstrip).
