John Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Is a chain the same no matter what company makes it? For example if I have a DID chain can I use an RK master link on it and vice versa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exSRAaron Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 i dont think so...i looked at the extra RK masterlink i have, and it didnt look the same as the DID chain i had at the time, both 520. I may be wrong tho i hope so..then i can use mine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 In any given chain size, there are different material strengths, and different designs. You should use the master link from the list shown with the specific type of chain. Obviously a lesser strength master link on a stronger chain, will snap the master link rather quickly.http://www.didchain.com/http://www.didchain.com/specs.htmhttp://www.didchain.com/install.htmOn the other hand, I used to use whatever, and broke chains all the time. A set of 2 full links(clip type), and two half links(clip type) in your toolkit, will usually let you limp home after picking up all the pieces of your broken chain and re-assembling it.

12oclocker Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 I road 40 miles on a broken master link once, to get to a shop to get a new one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
