Anyway, I remember I posted a few months ago about never having a problem with these links....well, now I have.

Anyway, skating your bike for 10 km like a scooter is actually easier than I thought it would be, but people look at you funny.

I never could quite understand masterlinks.
I never used one for that fact.
Thus I never had a busted chain.

A chain is only as strong as it's weakest link.

1/8 ftw
