Does anyone use one of the removeable chain links (e.g. Superlink, Connex link, SRAM gold link, etc).
I tried the Superlink III on my Campagnolo 10 sp road bike and after about 500 miles it started making ticking noises. Actually I could feel this pulsation. Eventually I figured out it was the link and simply eliminated it using my chain tool. No problems since then.
However, the ability to easily remove your chain for cleaning seems invaluable for cross racing.
So how durable/reliable are these things? I'm not sure if my experience was out of the ordinary. Would they work for cross racing even though they seem flimsey?
