The clip is made of high quality spring steel.
If three things are checked properly, then you will have NO problems with a clip type master on ANY bike street or trail.
The clip MUST be completely flat. Check this on flat surface each and every time you mount.
The clip must not be bent at all. Make certain the forks are not seperated from being bent at the fold. If the clip is bent, it will normally show up on the flatness test. But even if it remains flat, you can easily see a seperated clip.
And lastly, you MUST make certain that the two forks (or open end) is trailing the direction of travel. (Chain going left, forks pointing right)
You will NEVER hear of anyone losing a chain that has a properly installed clip master.
Again, OEM's recommend rivet links for the Dummy Factor. (shrug)
