Laverdaroo:
Anybody have any recomendations for chain and sprocket kits at not daft money? I've never had a split link on a bike I've owned aways prefering to rivet link them. Most available (DSS Wemoto, CB-four etc) appear to be with a clip, are they ok on these, I've never trusted them tbh. Any preferences chaps et al?

Dont want to spend the earth if I can help it........

In my opinion and experience over the last 40 years of riding a motorbike, split links work perfectly.  The only problem you might have is with a badly adjusted or  poorly lubricated chain, and of course making sure you have it on the right way :)

Cheers Florence, never had oine, know theyve been used for years but just cant get it out of my head that its a weak point. My mates always carry a spare clip link and I dont want it in the back of my head whilst out but happy to bear down to greater knowledge.
