    if you break the worn out chain on the lower side of the crank, then use a quick connect to attach/connect the new chain, and us the crank to pull the doubled chain thru all the tubes and derailleur, then you can disconnect the old chain and use that quick connect to secure the new chain.. No fishing.. :)
    I use the KMC (stretch proof) X9.93... that and using A.T.B. (AbsolutelyTheBest chain lube (red) and clean the chain often and apply drop on each link, I get about 3k miles per chain, and have never broke a chain. Proper maintenance is the key to longlife.. I have a BBSHD 1000k watt mid-drive. I put a small chain ring (narrow/wide 30T) to keep the motor spinning fast and cool. And never lug the motor down, (hard to do with a 350w mid-drive) Listen to how fast the motor is spinning and gear down when you hear it struggling.. that means the chain is also under enormous torque. (higher power level, lower gear is the key)

    I realize this video is 4 years old but I have a 2010 Sprint Ice Trike & was wondering what motor did you install & did you keep the original rear cassette or change it up? Hope to hear from you. Marty
