Quick link direction.

[Arjimlad]

Oi, I cycle to Thanet regularly.

I'd rendezvous with Janet, quite near the Isle of Thanet, she looked more like a gannet,

Did you get right up between her rum and her ribena....?

 

[Arjimlad]

She wasn't half a prannet !

Anyway, must go.. the curse of fifty witches making wormwood of my soul

Her father helped me plan it

The chain travels in all directions but mostly in two parallel runs. At some stage the arrow points in direction of travel.
I have not seen a KMC link with an arrow. Can you post a photo?
Some links are asymmetric (Connex) and require careful orientation otherwise they contact the spacer between sprockets on the high gears where the spacer is not that deep down.

It doesn't travel in all directions, it travels clockwise (except when pedalling backwards) yes it travels left to right on the top chain line and then right to left on the bottom. But a arrow on the chain will either point in the direction of chain travel all the time or point opposite of the direction of travel all the time.

You are of course, right. I fixated on which way the arrow points.
