Found at Wal-Mart today...

While looking for something totally unrelated, I stumbled across the Bell "Chain Linker" master link kit
Kit includes 4 master links, two are 1/8" and the other two are 3/32" for a grand total of $1.84 ! That's incredible compated to $5 each for replacement SRAM power links. Like the rest of wal mart's accessories, they are branded "Bell" (the helmet company?) but KMC is clearly stamped on each one, so chances are the quality is decent. I'm excited enough to want to share this find because I busted a chain in a MTB race the other week and lost 10 minutes doing a trailside repair. Having these babies handy for a quick fix will get me rolling again in no time if it should ever happen again

I only use good ones. If my chain breaks, I don't want it breaking again.
