DID VX chain rivet

[tommyardin]

I am not quite sure what was wrong with the flat sideplate and clip fixings of yesteryear, as long as you put the closed end of the clip facing the direction flow of the drive chain they were fine. I have done more than 50 miles on motorcycles over the years and never had one come off or undone.
It would be interesting to find out if any of the lads in here have ever had a chain come off because the clip came undone, not chain snap but the clip actually came undone.
