not on anything much bigger than 250cc, unless it’s just to get to a bike shop where you can get a proper rivet link put in.

I tend to agree with you Rob, I do use one on my race bike but it's only 28bhp and even then I lock-wire it, but to be honest I was never fast enough to worry changing gearing too often. It would be interesting what people racing larger capacity classic bikes do regarding them though- maybe just have a ready supply of soft links to use when fitting a longer or shorter chain?
