The bolt's fine. it's actually threaded, so technically you don't need the little retainer nut on the other side, but I'd still keep it on there to be safe.

i used a chainlink tool and joined it the old fashioned way, im sure the bolts are tough but i still dont trust them.

I've been using Super Toughness chains for at least 2 years on my daily 25 mile commute and never had a problem with the bolt.

I fail to see how it can be weaker than a regular link with a pin that pushes in. There's quite a lot of parts on my bike that use threaded screws...

I lost the nut on the other side, and then the bolt loosened. I didn't wait for the obvious, I use a chain tool now.

*screw-fastened masterlink, meaning that you can demount the chain in seconds using a screwdriver and a set of needlenose pliers. The link was developed for track use, so we recommend regular checks and the use of Loctite if you're planning to take it on the road.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
