Me personally don't bother with riveted links IMO. Yes a riveted link will never fall off, however with a few safeguards a clip style link will serve you just as well without issues. After you properly install the retaining clip (
with the open end of the clip facing OPPOSITE the direction of chain travel !!! clean the link with carb cleaner, and then smear some Permatex RTV silicone over the clip. This will completely prevent the clip from possibly becoming dislodged.
