Quick links

[Fnaar]

You know those quick link thingies we all keep in our saddlebags as spares, alongside our chain tools?
Could you make a whole chain out of them? Not saying I'm planning to, just wondering if you could. Would it be weaker than a normal chain ?

No.

They replace the "outie" plates, you'd still need half a chain of the "innie" links.

ie they replace the left hand plates, above.

Okey doke, thanks

I can make it longer if you'd like.

I've seen those adverts

someone's got too much time on his hands at the moment, what with undead dogs and quick link chains.

I'm writing an assignment on self identity drawing on the philosophy of Locke, Hume and Parfit. Is that sufficient explanation?

Not you, you herbert, Fnaar!

Well that was a quick discussion.

Riveting though...

Thank you. How interesting.

OK, when would you use a combination countersink and pre-dimple rivet method?

Pre-dimple you ask. That'd be before Shirley Temple then

As usual Sheldon provides the 'answer' option 3 uses SRAM powerlinks but no doubt KMC ones could be used.
