chain repair

Restoring broken links

Chain repair is the process of fixing a broken or damaged chain, whether on a bicycle, piece of jewelry, or other equipment.

The term most often appears in cycling contexts, where a broken chain can leave a rider stranded: I carry a chain tool for emergency chain repair.

For jewelry, chain repair typically involves replacing broken links or reattaching clasps.
