Installed my new chain and pulled a rookie mistake. Over-tightened the rivet and I'd say about 35% of the bulged part broke off from the rivet. The majority still remains. It's the right one in the pic. Should I bite the bullet and get a new link or have any of you experienced this and rode it anyway without failure?

Being that a chain failure at speed is a rather significant event, its well worth replacing the part that costs less than $20.
 
$5 masterlink or risk death from rear wheel locking up at 65mph

decisions decisions :D


broken chains also break cases from time to time so either way its not worth it.
 
Yup. Just ordered one. Guess that was a dumb question in retrospect!
