    Anyone use a "Super Link"? http://www.theramp.net/craig/slmain.html
    It's a chain link that can be removed without tools.

    I use Sram chains with the Powerlink. It works well, and you can
    carry a spare, but I still carry a chain tool because while it is many
    years since I broke a chain, I've rescued a couple of people recently
    who have done just that - and neither of them had the PowerLink
    fitted..

    Hey!

    A silver SRAM powerlink on a Shimano chain ...works great!

    So far, 6km on it and not a peep, squeak or click out of it. Neat.

    Now that it's so easy to remove, I took the chain off and dropped it in a 2
    liter plastic pop bottle with a squirt of Varsol leaving me a shiney chain
    and a bottle of dirty Varsol. 🙂

    Bit of 3-in-1 oil on the chain & back on the bike.

    Since it's so easy to do, I'm thinking of cleaning it after every couple of
    rides and coating it with wax from now on. Wonder how many people do
    this...?
