I made this mistake last year. I bodged it together using a chain breaker, a FUCK TONNE of time and a load of angry. It lasted a cycling trip in the mountains but then exploded on Muswell Hill this Sunday.

Funny story, as the bit I had bodged back on had dissapeared, I cut the new chain I bought too short too as I measured the new against the size of the old.

I did forget to mention that my bodged one also exploded resulting in a long walk to the nearest train station.

I also broke a 10-speed chain on its maiden voyage after spending about an hour trying to get the pin back in. Seems like maybe quicklinks are the better approach.
