Just bought a new DID narrow "T-Ring" chain. Basically it's a narrow X-Ring.
The master link that came with the chain is a rivet connection, not the usual clip. Here's the link

Anybody got any experience with the rivet master link instead of a clip?
Seems like a PITA if you have to grind off the master to take the chain off.
Thanks

I got one of those "accidentally". I didn't read the fine print when ordering the chain.
You know how the clips wear thin on a standard Master Link?
It has been fine. I don't see why I would need to break the chain until it is time to replace, I hope.
I beat the rivets flat against an anvil on the garage floor. It sure ain't coming off, but you may want to find a more dignified method.
