ORIGINAL: WOT

I could search the net and find all kinds of bad stories about clip links... but does that make it a fact?
Touche....

Not rivet vs clip. My own story, shop put clip type on and it came off within less than 1000miles. Replaced with a rivet and no problems in 3k miles. Just what happened to me.

a lot of people will also say the DID is better than RK and vice versa. i know some people that have had some bad experience with RK chains. most people i know run DID chains, and we are all happy with ours. sprocketcenter.com is also a great site to deal with. had a manufacturer defect on my rear sprocket, and they gave me a new one out of their pocket.

also, with -1 in front, in 6th gear my speed is 55 at 5k rpms, 66 at 6k rpms, 77 at 7k rpms, etc...., all correct with a speedohealer
