Rivet when new then clip to replace, clips suck though.

Same, Rivet it when its new, keep a clip in the tool bag with a mini breaker for Justin :D

I dont trust those clips, they always wear away and fling off as you unload it from the ute about to start an awesome two day ride. Rivets not so much.

I always use a clip and have never lost one. I always carry a spare.

Clip. The theory being if the chain wants to snap it will on the weak link, which is the clip, so I carry a spare clip link which only takes a few minutes to fit.

And the only time I fitted a rivet link the chain snapped last Sunday and took out half the bike with it! :D:rolleyes:

Clip because rivet is not as simple as it sounds (one of those black arts like suspension valving)

Clip is more friendly for maintance, rivet needs to be done with correct tooling.
Never had a failure from either.
Buying a cheap chain is the worst mistake.

Clip.

Even if the chain comes with a rivet link, I purchase the accessory clip link.

Clip,because when your gearbag detonates and locks up you can disconnect chain to then push your bike out to be towed home.IME.

Always gone the clip.

The master link does sit out further than the rest of the chain though and as such can wear against the guide. Have had them wear out due to this and spit the clip. Even replacing the whole link is cheap in the grand scheme of things though.
