John,

...I bought a clip master link for o-ring chains (came with o-rings and grease) that's been working just fine for about 10k or so miles...




So a master clip type link will have the o-rings and grease. Thanks for the first hand information.

In my opinion if you have a riveter, use the rivet link. If you don't, use a clip o-ring link. I think even a clip link on an o-ring chain is not intended to be routinely removed and reinstalled. Once the rings are compressed, they're never quite the same.




Sounds like the clip type link is more a choice for people in situations like yours as the master clips are not conducive for removal and reinstall.
