Re: clip style vs. pressed master links...

i wouldnt be takin my clip on and off...they get all damaged easily when removing....ive got 2 master clips on my chain

but u can get a new master link cheap if u really are compulsive about "taking the chain of and lubing and cleaning it easily"

Re: clip style vs. pressed master links...

If you run a clip-style, buy new master links everytime you take them off!


Removing and reinstalling a used link is what makes them come off..

I had mine fall off 100 miles from home.. sucked!
