Hmm...
I've got one on one of my bikes, yet I've never bought a SRAM chain, mysterious!

Maybe the Bicycle Fairy has left me one as payment for all the bearing balls I've (accidentally) sacrificed to her by having them roll off and disappear into various nooks and crannies over the years?

I believe she lives with the Dryer Fairy, the one that removes one sock from each load of clothes.

That looks perfect -- I'm guessing it's not on the US website because we don't trust masterlinks.

What makes them non-reusable? Marketing again?

Thanks!

Taya makes reuseable links like this. https://www.tayachain.com/webe/html/tech/02.aspx Not the most reliable either. I remember snapping these occasionally.
