Description
If you’re running Renthal’s 428-pitch R1 Works Chain, the C253 spring link is the part that closes the loop without introducing a weak point. It’s built to the same specification as the rest of the R1 line, with shot-peened plates and chromized pin construction, so the connecting link holds up to the same impact loads the rest of the chain is designed for rather than becoming the first thing to give out on a rough trail.
Details worth knowing:
- Sized specifically for 428-pitch fitment on the R1 Works Chain
- Spring clip design for quick installation and removal during chain maintenance
- Shot-peened side plates and chromized pins matching the R1 Works Chain construction
- Gold-anodized finish for a consistent appearance across the chain
- Maintains the chain’s rated strength instead of relying on a generic universal link
Install the clip with its closed end facing the direction the chain travels and re-check it after a short ride, since vibration can walk a poorly seated clip loose over time. This link is built for 428 pitch only, so confirm your chain’s pitch before ordering rather than assuming it will work across sizes. IPD Racing stocks this as a low-cost way to avoid getting stranded over a broken or missing link.
