Hey everyone, so I'm posing a question that you've all probably heard been asked 100 times over. It would seem from what I've read online, people have mixed opinions about this. Its time to replace the chain on my CB250, I'll be ordering one soon. My question is: When it comes to ordering a chain, would I be safe buying a chain with a clip style master link? I've read a few stories of people running clip style chains and having no issues at all, and also stories of people who have thrown their chains after only 10 road miles of having it installed. The price difference between a clip chain versus a rivet chain isn't super big, but i know the proper tool for a rivet link can be a little pricey.
Since there aren't any negative arguments for rivet chains, i guess im looking for real world experiences from people who run clip style links. Is there anyone out there who has never had issues with that clips? I do my own work on my bike, so if i go with the rivet chain, i would buy a rivet tool, hence my desire to save a few $$, if at all possible (That being said, safety is still #1, and I dont want to put myself in danger, or anyone else, should i throw a chain at 60mph).
A penny for your thoughts...
