• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

I just bought a new chain and it came with the basic clip type chain link. Is that suitable for our bike? Or should I invest in the rivet style? I've never replaced a chain before, so I'm looking for some advice from those of you have replaced your chain before.
 
I have used master links in many chains over the years on dirt and much more powerful street bikes and never had a problem as long as you put the open end of the clip facing the rear wheel on the upper run of the chain.
YMMV:oldman:

You wont have a problem, the clip doesn't touch the slipper and there is no chain guide to wear the clip out.
The Master link is the weak link, give it attention when oiling.
