    Hi,
    Anybody ever thought of rotating all the pins in a chain 180 degrees to
    get some more life out of a chain ?

    Cheers,

    I don't think that doing something like this would significantly
    increase the life of a chain. Once it gets to the point where it might
    be useful, other parts of the chain would also be wearing away. Parts of
    mechanical things wear together, so the chain could wear faster once you
    do this.

    Secondly you would in effect be taking the chain completely apart, and
    putting it back together. This could increase the chances of future
    chain failure, and I doubt you would put it back together as even as a
    new chain, also increasing wear.
