[ST] Chain replacement/chain shortening

["Harries, Mort" <mort.harries@xxxxxx>]

A few months ago I changed the front sprocket on my ST to a 17 tooth.  Best
mod I ever made to the bike.  Just made it a lot more fun, and much more
manageable on my daily commute.

Now I gotta pay for it....  I just ran out of chain adjustment.  I have just
over 11k miles on the chain so it should have plenty of life left in it.  Is
it easy and safe to remove a few links from the chain?  How do I do that?  I
guess I need a special tool.  Worht buying the tool and doing it myself?  Or
is this something best left to "experts"?  Or is it something best not done
at all, and should I just buy a new chain?  

Lotsa questions, but inquiring minds want to know....

TIA
