I like the security of the rivoted link , but have to say that the only issues I have had with chain failure have been when using knackered chains ( poverty is a bitch ) in my younger years .Problem is , I like to remove the chain for cleaning , especially with those gold side plates, so I use a clip link .Fitted correctly they are ok. Check chain guides to make sure that there is nothing that can ping the clip off while you are wheeling the bike backwards, and physically eyeball the clip ( and other things ) while the bike warms up .....you know , wheel it out of the shed and start 'er up, 7 am sunday , check the bike over whilst putting on the gear , give 'er a good rev just to make sure everyone is awake,and make sure my sprockets arn't going to fall off
