Bent chain

I found out why we felt that the chain was too long and removed a big section of it. The boom was collapsed to the shortest setting so it would fit in the car. We didn't extend it to the length of the normal riding position when adjusting chain length. Ooops.

Look what happened when I tried it on my own! Every link that I reconnect looks like this! It's not smooth. Maybe the guys in the forum can lend a hand.
