Had a new chain and sprockets fitted 10,000 km ago. I noted the replacement chain had a joining link/clip arrangement where before the (probably original) chain had a 'permanent' join. Upon recent return from 2000 km trip to the sunny south I was cleaning the chain and noticed the clip had gone. Managed to source another so I could go on a local ride today, checked the clip twice, the last time 80 km from home: it was fine. Had another check once home and it's gone again! I noted some wear on the joining link plate under where the clip was (see photo) - I've checked around both sprockets and along chain run etc for any obstruction: nothing. Feeling a little insecure at the prospect of losing a chain at 100 kmh Any ideas as to cause? I will get a permanent joiner fitted ASAP.
