Poor old Cormanus was not clear again. Thank you Ferret and Ulvetanna for your help in making me understand my error. Clear communication is so difficult, isn't it?

My understanding is that Pterodactyl chose to stake the new chain on a bench rather than on the bike. It was a deliberate decision and not inadvertent. For reasons unknown to me, he does not trust the available staking tools. The upshot? A homemade endless chain. That meant that the swingarm had to be removed so he could install it.

Makes sense to me. The long way around but if you have the time, why not? Also staking is rather difficult to do with the chain on the bike; I use the type of master link that essentially rivets the link in place which is quite simple but actually staking the pins, like the OEM chain, that's something different.
