Funny thing. On a ride, locally last fall I had a link come apart on me. It didn't fully fall apart but I knew I kept hearing something hitting. When I got home I found out I had the chain problems. It can happen. I had always said the same thing you say...it hasn't happened to me. I don't say that anymore. Actually I do typically carry a spare chain with me when I do any trips. Since I live in tax free NH I don't want to have to give up the sales tax if I can save it instead.
