Those boys at vital bmx are very excitable. Seems like a reasonable idea

Hmmmm, Can't help wondering just how easily the link bolt would work loose I mean its going to get lots of shear loading and a fair bit of torque as it rolls on and off of sprockets/rings...

In fact thinking about it Current tool free split links like are actually a more graceful and probably cheaper solution...

Think I'll let the early adopters trial that one...

would this not make the chain more expensive? to the point it would be cheaper to carry a chain tool and stick to what we know works well

sickening

It is. An allen key chain. Sick...

In other news, theres something called a chain splitter which is actually very, very good and works using the best power known to man kind. Brute. Force.

And then when you've applied to much loctite or the pin has seized in you end up rounding it off before going to buy a chain splitter to get your chain off
