>What experiences have you had with clip type master link chains?
Kelly;
They work just as well as the rivet type if properly installed. I've used
them for 35 years and never had a single one come off [I've had over 75
M/Cs.]. Every one that I've seen on other peoples bikes that failed was due
to the installers error. If they weren't reliable then why do the
manufacturers provide them with new chains? They must have the clip
installed in the correct direction, and the side plate has to be fully
seated on the pins to insure good performance.
