Your right but the trouble is everybody uses them 'temporarily' and like me never gets round to gettin the rivet link fitted! I still cant figure out how my spring link came undone after about 10k (the chain was at the end of its life) as it was installed correctly but still shot out the back of the bike at about 90mph. Luckly I was able to retrieve it from the autovia and having the rivet link, which I had kept on the bike, managed to rivet it by the side of the road using stones. It cost 2 hours of hard labour though!
