I can see the argument for two master links weakening the chain, but I rode my larger Clem with a two master link splice the entire time I had it and never had any issue really. Actually, I kinda miss that little two master link set-up, since the master links didn't wear the same as the chain a

Interesting. I guess that was in the back of my mind, maybe saw it on a blog post. Still, they could have emptied the bucket and added an extension the old fashioned way. I always thought 2 master links was not recommended. Can't think why. Or, it was simply a case of TUSL (Totally Undiagnosab

Clem Smith Jr.'s require a chain plus extra. So unless the chain came from a spool of chain and was made exactly to length, it would have required pinning on an additional section, and then using a master link. As Patrick does, whenever I put back a rivet I check to make sure it protrudes the s
