Talking of internet shopping....

Where's the best place to buy a decent chain breaking/making tool? Oh and what sort do you chaps rate best?

Just went to fit a new chain only to discover the chappy at the shop had got confused and supplied one about 7 links too long..

A good one is not cheap !
Have a look for a DID Tool,they are the Mutts Nuts and will do virtually any chain !

Several club members have one and may be persuaded to loan it on a you-pay-the-postage deal.

I can always get the local shop to do it but it's convenient to have the tool 

Couldn't find DiD on a quick web search, Sealey any good? http://www.diytools.co.uk/diy/Main/sp-2-12032-95406-sealey-motorcycle-chain-breaker-%26-riveter.asp

Good point! I normally use the grinder with a cutting disc to remove endless chains, hadn't thought of the more subtle approach of grinding off the heads 
Just naturally nervous about trashing a decent new chain by being ham fisted I guess
