Rivet vs Clip Link Chains
|
I've noticed on Ebay lately that there are a few 530 sized X-ring
chains on the market.
I've contacted some of the sellers, and most of them appear to have
'master clip' links rather than rivets.
Now unless clip technology has taken a bit of a leap in recent years,
I'd have thought this would be a bit sus, what with most 1000cc+ bikes
nowadays putting out 120+ hp at the rear wheel and god knows how much
torque...
I guess that if you a) did some safety wiring of the master clip, b)
avoided burnouts/wheelies, and c) kept it under 110KM/H all the time
you'd probably be ok.
OR am I being a bit pessimistic? Are the modern clip type master
links good for all the normal street use that big bikes get nowadays?

one side of the link clip is sharper than the other, make sure this
goes on the outside, use a dollop of silicon on the link to both aid
its installation and to keep it there...
but I use rivet chains cos I like to be sure...
personally I would be more suss of chains on ebay than the joining
method

sure..... but would they be worthy of a CT90 ?
