The Brompton website states that maximum chain width is 8.6mm (for 3 speed) or something like that and therefore snap-on links are not compatible as they tend to be wider. I'm looking that the snap-on link for the PC1 Sram chain and it's 9.2mm and not quite symetrical, i.e. it projects slightly further on one of the sides.
I can't see there being a problem with chains of this size; I don't see where clearance would be too tight. . . . ? Perhaps this is due to the fact that my chainwheel is of the older 1/8 type and therefore there's less side-to-side movement of the chain. . . I don't know how the 3/32 chainwheels differ proportionally.
A snap on link would be convenient for chain cleaning.
